The Amazon rainforest, often referred to as the 'lungs of the Earth', plays a crucial role in regulating the climate and maintaining biodiversity.

It is home to millions of species, many of which are yet to be discovered. Environmental scientists warn that deforestation and climate change threaten this delicate ecosystem.

Preserving the Amazon is vital not only for the species that inhabit it but also for the global environment.
