More than one third of all species in the world live in the Amazon, a giant tropical forest and river basin with an area that stretches more than 2.1 million square miles and is among the richest tropical forests in the world. A large percentage of this remarkable region's original forested area is still intact, with lowland tropical moist forests, unique flooded savannas dotted with palm trees, and bamboo-dominated forests blanketing an area larger than Europe. The value of keeping the Amazon forests intact in terms of carbon storage, hydrology and rainfall, pharmaceuticals and fisheries far outweighs land-uses that are rapidly destroying large areas of the Amazon such as cattle ranching and illegal logging.
