remaining rainforests in the world. Brazil contains
60%of the Amazonian rainforest, since it lies at the
mouth of the river Amazon. This river is the
second largest in the world and contains more
than one-fifth of the world's fresh water. The
Amazon rainforest is a type of wet broadleaf
forest. The weather there is very humid and warm
as it rains quite a bit. Because of the high rainfall,
the forest is very rich and green. The tree leaves
are pointed and narrow so that the raindrops can
easily drop off wet plants. This
tropical rainforest has more living species than the
entire European continent. There are over 400
types of insects living in one single rain forest tree
for a total of 2.5 million species. One square
kilometer of rainforest may contain over 75,000
types of trees and approximately 438,000
different kinds of plants, which comes to a total of
90,000 tons of greenery overall. The Amazon
rainforest is home to 2,000 birds and mammals,
with one in every five birds in the world living
there. Local farmers have lived off this rich and
diverse land for thousands of years. They have
been able to find food and water here without
destroying the land. The Kayapo people of Brazil
farm in an environmentally-friendly way. Instead of
chemicals, they use burned wood to enrich the
soil, and plant banana trees [Show Less]
