Rainforests
There are over 1000 tropical rain forests in the world as shown in the above map.
The two main natural sites include:
The Amazon- covering 40% of South America, the largest rain forest on Earth, is the Amazon Rain forest. It covers Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surrimane, and French Gullin. The Amazon River measures 4,100 miles long, which is the second longest river on the planet. There are more than 40,000 plant species on the Amazon, and over 570 types of reptiles living. More than 50 million people live in the Amazon and rely on the agriculture, clothing, and medication needs. They also rely on Amazon's food, shelter & livability.

Congo River- also known as the Zaire, is the second largest rain forest on Earth. It's Africa's most deepest river measuring 220 meters (700ftt) deep. It is the longest river measuring 4,667 km long. It is known for it's high level of biodiversity. There are more than 700 fish species in the congo river, and wildlife such as; hippos, crocodiles, elephants, chimpanzees, and more living in the Congo Rain Forest. Because it's on the South equator, it gets lots of rain, and gets a large amount of water. This causes the rain forest to get drainage easily.
