If the Earth Has a Heart — It’s the Pulsing Rivers of the Amazon…
If it breathes — it’s thanks to the Amazon Rainforest.
What is the Amazon Rainforest?
The Amazon is the largest tropical rainforest in the world.
It stretches across 9 South American countries, with the majority located in Brazil.How big is it?
It covers an area of more than 7 million square kilometers.
That’s nearly the size of the entire Australian continent!One out of every five breaths we take is made possible by this forest.
Why is it called the "lungs of the Earth"?
Because the Amazon:
Releases millions of tons of oxygen into the atmosphere every day
Absorbs carbon dioxide, helping to slow down climate change
Purifies the air, cools the planet, and regulates the water cycle
How many species live in the Amazon?
The Amazon is home to:
Over 390 million trees
More than 3 million species of animals and plants
Tens of thousands of undiscovered organisms
It’s a hotspot of biodiversity, with new species discovered every year.
Amazing facts:
The Amazon River is the second longest river in the world, but first in water volume
Some parts of the forest have never been touched by humans
Rain can fall several times a day in the rainforest
Some indigenous tribes have never made contact with the outside world
The forest creates its own microclimate — almost like it has its own “breathing system”
Did you know the Amazon is in danger?
17% of the forest has been destroyed in the last 50 years
Every minute, an area the size of a football field is cut down
The destruction of the forest means: climate change, species extinction, and polluted air
What can we do to protect the Amazon?
Reduce paper and wood consumption
Support eco-friendly companies
Avoid plastic products
Spread awareness — the more people know, the bigger the impact
Love and respect nature — because this planet is our only home
Conclusion:
The Amazon is not just a forest.
It is the breathing force of Earth, the home of millions, the living miracle of our planet.
Protecting it is not only an ecological duty — it's a responsibility for the future of humanity.“If the Amazon burns, we burn with it.
If it can’t breathe, neither can we…”
