The Amazon Rain Forest and Its Rich Biodiversity

The Amazon basin hosts the world’s largest tropical rainforest with year round warmth in the 70s and 80s. It receives 80 to 120 inches of rain annually as plants transpire and moisture travels to form clouds and rain. Biodiversity is immense with mammals fish amphibians reptiles birds and insects thriving in a warm damp climate. The photo hints at flooded areas and plants adapting to long underwater periods while humans and wildlife adjust. Mining and land clearances threaten the forest, raising concern for its future.
