Amazonian Biodiversity

Amazonian biodiversity refers to the vast variety of plant and animal life found in the Amazon rainforest, which is one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. It is home to millions of species, including countless insects, plants, birds, mammals, and reptiles, many of which are not found anywhere else. This rich biodiversity plays a crucial role in regulating the global climate, maintaining ecological balance, and supporting indigenous cultures. However, it is threatened by deforestation, climate change, and human activities, making conservation efforts essential for maintaining this vital natural resource and its ecological services.
