amazon rainforest

Hi
while i was in the amazon region i thought i might have a look around the rainforest. The amazon rainforest is over half of the remaining rainforest in the world. There is nearly 40,000 species of plants in the amazon rainforest. Deforestation is a big problem as many of the worlds rainforests are starting to disappear. The rainforests of the world used to cover about 14% of the worlds land but now only cover anout 6%. the amazon i home to more then 200,000 species of plants. Many of the worlds medicines come from the amazon rainforest.
thanks for reading I'll talk to you again when i get to my next destination.
