Amazon, the world's largest forest
Amazon jungle information
The Amazon forest is also called the world's most dangerous forest on one hand and the most beautiful on the other. On one hand, it is known for dangerous animals and on the other for the clean water it gets. It is believed that there is a store of biodiversity here.
Leeds University did research in the year 2017. In this, it was found that the amount of carbon absorbed by the Amazon basin matches the emissions by many countries in it. This means that the amount of carbon the country emits in the basin is the same takes it from the Amazon basin. However, carbon emissions increase due to the burning of forests, and these days it is in its worst condition.
Scientists Carlos Knober and Thomas E. Lovejoy say in their research that the way the Amazon forests are being cut, it can change from the world's largest forest to the largest savanna area. Let us tell you that in the Sawan region there is a forest of grass with small plants. This can also change the ecology of the area.
According to the report of National Geographic, the effect of the Amazon Rainforest is not only on the regional water cycle, but its effect is on the global scale. The way the rain falls from the Amazon forests, it reaches the corners of the mountains throughout the area. According to a report, the Amazon Rainforest has the capacity to produce half the amount of rain it receives. This chakra is a delicate balance, breaking of which can have dire consequences.
Where is the amazon forest
Amazon forests pass through 9 countries. About 60 percent of these forests pass through Brazil, 13 percent through Peru, 10 percent through Colombia, and the rest through Ecuador, Guyana, Venezuela, Bolivia, Suriname, and French Guiana.
Let us tell you that you can see one-third of all the creatures on the earth together in the jungles of the Amazon. There are 390 billion trees, of which there are more than 16 thousand species. Not only this, but more than 400 primitive tribes also live here. These tribes have no connection with the outside world.
There is a lot of discussion about the insects in the Amazon forests. It is believed that so many thousand types of insects and animals are found here that scientists have come to know about only a few percent of them. Bullet ants here are also very dangerous. The sting of these tiny ants is considered dangerous like poison. It is said that their bite hurts like a bullet.
After the ants, there is a discussion of spiders here. More than 3 thousand species are found here, most of which are poisonous. The tarantula spider is considered the most dangerous. Its hair is also so dangerous that if it gets in your eyes, then it will break like a mirror.
What is the status of the fire?
According to reports, there has been an increase of 83 percent in incidents of fire in the Amazon forest in two years. Some of the reasons for this are telling it the indiscriminate cutting of forests, some conspiracy, and some negligence of the government. According to NASA, only 72843 cases of fire have been reported this year. In this, 9507 incidents of fire have been reported in the Amazon basin itself.
