Where Is The Amazon?

---

Where Is the Amazon? by Sarah Fabiny explores one of the most extraordinary and vital regions of the world—the Amazon rainforest. Spanning across nine South American countries, the Amazon is the largest rainforest on Earth and home to unmatched biodiversity, including millions of species of plants, animals, and insects. This book introduces readers to the cultural, environmental, and geographical significance of the Amazon, from its role in Indigenous civilizations to its impact on global climate systems. It highlights the mighty Amazon River, the second-longest river in the world, and explains how the rainforest functions as the “lungs of the Earth” by producing much of the planet’s oxygen. The book also addresses modern challenges such as deforestation and environmental conservation. With engaging maps, illustrations, and historical insights, it provides young readers with a deeper understanding of why the Amazon is one of the planet’s most important ecosystems.
