BIGGEST RAINFOREST IN EXTINCTION
Amazon Jungle a brief description.

rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, Colombia with 10%, and with
minor amounts in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname
and French Guiana.
 The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests.
 The Amazon Rainforest is the world’s richest and most-varied
biological reservoir, containing several million species of insects,
plants, birds, and other forms of life, many still unrecorded by
science.

Amazon in fire.
 Wildfires in the Amazon are not uncommon, but the way they are
now spreading is a concern.
 According to NOAA the rainforest has been “fire-resistant” for much
of its history because of its natural environment.
 INPE research Alberto Setzer told Reuters: “The dry season creates
the favourable conditions for the use and spread of fire, but starting
a fire is the work of humans, either deliberately or by accident."
 The space agency said it had detected more than 74,000 fires
between January and August and more than 9,500 forest fires since
in less than a week, mostly in the Amazon region.
