*The Amazon rainforest or the Amazon Jungle represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and comprises the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world. It is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses 7,000,000 square kilometres, of which 5,500,000 square kilometres are covered by the rainforest. The region is home to about 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, and some 2,000 birds and mammals.
