Rio Negro

Rio Negro is a major river in South America, flowing through Brazil and into the Amazon River. It is known for its dark-colored water, caused by natural minerals and decaying plant matter. The river is important for transportation and supports rich biodiversity, including unique fish species and lush rainforest habitats. It is also culturally significant, with many communities along its banks relying on its resources for their livelihoods. The Rio Negro is a key part of the Amazon River system, contributing to the ecological health of one of the world’s most vital ecosystems.
