The Amazon Jungle in Peru

The Amazon forest is one of the last lungs of the earth. Biologically is one of the richest places in the world in biodiversity, which lost may cause several damages to the humanity. It is our moral responsibility to take care of this tropical forest because more than the third part of the species of the world live and reproduce in it. According to recently studies, the Amazon River is the largest in the world, covering 2'300,000 square miles, that is the 20% of fresh water of the world.

There are about 30,000 types of plants that grow in the Amazon shore, as well as 4,000 different species of butterflies and 2,000 different kinds of fish (more than those found in the Atlantic Ocean). Besides 4,000 species of birds, 150 species of reptiles and 361 species of mammals.
