Facts About The Amazon Rainforest
The Amazon rainforest is the largest tropical rainforest in the world and the source of 20% of the oxygen used by the earth's population.

Despite just covering 6% of the area of the planet, the rainforest is so large that it makes up more than half of the surviving rainforests in the world. It would accommodate 17 times as much of Ireland as the UK!
More than 20 percent of the world oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest. More than half of the world's estimated 10 million species of plants, animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests. One-fifth of the world's fresh water is in the #AmazonBasin. #DidYouKnow #Amazon #RainForest
