"Amazon Rainforest Unique places of interest There are several places to go in the Amazon rainforest; it would probably be difficult to know all of them. A good start is visiting the Brazilian national parks in the region, most of them don't have much infrastructure for tourists but this is quickly being developed and you should find very good conditions by the end of 2005."

"Help the Amazon Rainforest There are several ways to help Amazon rainforest; the first is spreading the word to people that you know. The second is to protect an acre of the rainforest. For a small donation you can protect an acre of the rainforest. Simply click the link below. "

The Amazon rainforest (Brazilian Portuguese: Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia; Spanish: Selva Amazónica or Amazonia), also known as Amazonia, or the Amazon jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), of which five and a half million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
