Also known as the Amazon Jungle or Amazonia, the Amazon Rainforest is a large tropical rainforest occupying most of the Amazon basin of South America. Covering an area of about 6,000,000 km2, it comprises about 40% of Brazil’s total area - becoming the world’s largest river basin. The Amazonia is bounded by the Guiana Highlands in the North, the Brazilian central plateau in the South, the Andes Mountains in the West, and the Atlantic Ocean in the East. It is the world’s richest biological reservoir with a variety of species of flora like myrtle, laurel, acacia, Brazil nut, and fauna like the jaguar, red deer, manatee, tapir, and many more.
