Amazon Basin

The Amazon Basin is a vast area in South America, primarily covering Brazil but also parts of Peru, Colombia, and several other countries. It includes the Amazon River, the world's second-longest river, and is famous for its rich biodiversity and dense rainforests. This region is crucial for the Earth's ecosystem, providing habitat for countless species and absorbing significant amounts of carbon dioxide. The Amazon Basin plays a vital role in regulating the global climate and is often referred to as the "lungs of the planet" due to its extensive forest cover and oxygen production.
