Abstract

The amazon Rain forest is split between nine nations, with more then half of it in Brazil. The whole Rain forest covers five and a half million square kilometers and represents more then half of all the rain forests on earth. It is estimated that its age would be at least 55 million years and that it was formed in the Eocene era. Each Rain forest on Earth is different from others and contains different species, plants, climate and ecosystem. amazon Rain forest is one of the biggest natural resources, it is estimated that 20% of all oxygen is produced from its vegetation. Today rain forests cover around 6% of world's land, which is only half from what it used to be before.

The amazon is the largest river basin and is one of the main sources of fresh water.
