Location The Amazon Rainforest, also known as the Amazon Jungle, is located in South America in an area known as the Amazon River basin. While the forest covers several countries, the largest percentage can be found in Brazil and Peru. Smaller portions exist in countries like Venezuela, Colombia, French Guiana, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, and Suriname. The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world and makes up about half of the planet’s rainforest space. It is also home to the greatest river in terms of drainage and discharge

RIVERRIVER UNNING The Amazon river is one of the longest rivers in the world. It is home to many species of animals such as pink river dolphin, poison dart frog and lots more! It also provides water for tribes. Also the tribes fish here!

Terrific Tribes The tribes that live in the Amazon rainforest survive as they assosciate with the nature. They hunt for food and drink from the Amazon river. Also, they live in huts deep within the Amazon Rainforest. Aswell as this, they like to spend their time huddled in their hut, or fishing in the river.

Terrible Threats Deforestation is clearing Earth's forests on a massive scale, often resulting in damage to the quality of the land. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the world’s land area, but swaths the size of Panama are lost each and every year. The world’s rain forests could completely vanish in a hundred years at the current rate of deforestation.
