What You’ll See in the Amazon Forest…

The Amazon rain forest is a moist broad-leaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses 7,000,000 square kilometers (2,700,000 sq mi), of which 5,500,000 square kilometers (2,100,000 sq mi) are covered by the rain forest. The Amazon represents over half of the planet’s remaining rain forests, and it comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rain forest in the world.
