Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world. It once covered almost half of South America. It is a hot and humid place. The jaguar hunts animals on the ground, while sloths, monkeys and birds feed safely up in the trees. Rainforests are being cut down around the world and need our protection. ©Sheri Amsel

The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world, once covering almost half of South America. It is a hot, humid place, rich with wildlife. Birds screech from overhead, the jaguar hunts tapir and agouti while sloths, monkeys and toucans feed safely above in the trees. Rainforests are being cut down around the world. It’s important to learn about them and protect them before they are gone. ©Sheri Amsel
