Detailed explanation-1: -As an ecosystem, the Amazon is one of the most biodiverse places on earth. Over 3 million species live in the rainforest, and over 2, 500 tree species (or one-third of all tropical trees that exist on earth) help to create and sustain this vibrant ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest tropical rainforest. It is home to around 40, 000 plant species, nearly 1, 300 bird species, 3, 000 types of fish, 427 species of mammals, and 2.5 million different insects.
Detailed explanation-3: -South America’s Amazon contains nearly a third of all the tropical rainforests left on Earth. Despite covering only around 1% of the planet’s surface, the Amazon rainforest is home to 10% of all the wildlife species we know about – and probably a lot that we don’t know yet.
