The Amazon Rainforest: The World's Largest Rainforest

The Amazon River Basin is home to the largest rainforest on Earth. The basin -- roughly the size of the forty-eight contiguous United States -- covers some 40 percent of the South American continent and includes parts of eight South American countries: Brazil , Bolivia , Peru , Ecuador , Colombia , Venezuela , Guyana , and Suriname , as well as French Guiana , a department of France.

Reflecting environmental conditions as well as past human influence , the Amazon is made up of a mosaic of ecosystems and vegetation types including rainforests, seasonal forests, deciduous forests, flooded forests , and savannas . The basin is drained by the Amazon River, the world's largest river in terms of discharge, and the second longest river in the world after the Nile. The river is made up of over 1,100 tributaries, 17 of which are longer than 1000 miles, ...

Himalayan Ecoregions

-
The Himalayas consist of a mosaic of diverse forest ecosystems and ecoregions, with different forest types suited for distinct elevation bands. The Himalayan subtropical pine forests extend nearly 3,000 km across the length of the Himalayas, traversing Pakistan, India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Chir pine ( Pinus roxburghii ) is the dominant pine in the ecoregion. While the Kali Gandaki river valley divides the region into a drier western forest and a wetter eastern forest, the two sections have similar ecosystem dynamics and species assemblages and thus are considered one ecoregion. Monsoon rains from the Bay of Bengal deliver rains to the eastern Himalayas, causing this region to be wetter than its western counterpart. Fires are common features of these chir pine forests, thus the understory is relatively sparse save for a few species of grass. These include Arundinella setosa , Imperata cylindrica, and shrubs from the genera Rubus and Berberis . The Himalayan subtr...

AMAZON DESTRUCTION

Deforestation data is annual on this page. Monthly updates are here . Since 1978 over 750,000 square kilometers (289,000 square miles) of Amazon rainforest have been destroyed across Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, and French Guiana. Why is Earth's largest rainforest being destroyed? For most of human history, deforestation in the Amazon was primarily the product of subsistence farmers who cut down trees to produce crops for their families and local consumption. But in the later part of the 20th century, that began to change, with an increasing proportion of deforestation driven by industrial activities and large-scale agriculture. By the 2000s more than three-quarters of forest clearing in the Amazon was for cattle-ranching. Drone photo of deforestation in the Bolivian Amazon for soybeans. Photo by Rhett A. Butler. The result of this shift is forests in the Amazon were...
