Save The Rainforest, The Amazon Rainforest
Benefits of The Amazon:
On the ecological front, supporting programmes that reduce deforestation and encourage reforestation keeps wildlife thriving.
Responsible management of Amazon’s resources can create income opportunities for local communities through initiatives like ecotourism, sustainable agriculture, and medicinal plant research.
More carbon stored in the ground keeps carbon out of the atmosphere and reduces the impacts of freakier weather.
1/10 Species
One in Ten Species Lives Here: The Amazon is home to 10% of all known species. Jaguars, macaws, and pink dolphins rely on it to survive. Destroying the Amazon means risking extinction for millions of animals.
20% Of The Earth’s O₂
It generates 20% of the Earth’s Oxygen: Often called the “lungs of the Earth”, the Amazon produces 1 out of every 5 breaths we take. Imagine losing a fifth of the world’s oxygen supply—saving the Amazon is saving ourselves!
Known as the “lungs of the Earth,” the Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on our planet and is vital for maintaining global climate stability. It spans nine South American countries and is the world’s largest tropical rainforest, owing to an incredible array of plant and animal species, including jaguars, macaws, and river dolphins.
Sadly, human activities such as deforestation, illegal mining, and land conversion for agriculture threaten this precious ecosystem, prompting the need to preserve, protect, and restore the Amazon.
Through the protection of the Amazon, it can absorb billions of tonnes of CO2 annually, helping to combat climate change, minimise destructive weather patterns, and protect biodiversity.
400 Indigenous Tribes
Millions of Indigenous Lives Depend on It: The Amazon is home to over 400 Indigenous tribes, many of whom have lived sustainably off its resources for centuries. Protecting the forest means safeguarding their homes, culture, and way of life.
