Did you know that today is world day for Amazon? The Amazon rainforest is a wet latifoliada forest that covers most of the Amazon basin of South America. This basin encompasses seven million square kilometers, of which five and a half million square kilometres are covered by tropical forest. This region includes territories belonging to nine Nations. Most of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60 percent of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and France (French Guiana). The Amazon represents over half of the remaining rainforests on the planet and comprises the largest biodiversity in a rain forest in the world.
