The Amazon River, which begins in the Andes Mountains in Peru, is the source of twenty percent of all
water that enters the oceans worldwide. At 6,400 kilometres in length, it is the second longest river in the
world. During the rainy season, parts of the river are 190 kilometres wide. The Amazon River passes through
the world's largest tropical rainforest. The Amazon rainforest is home to the highest number of plant and
animal species on Earth, many of which are found nowhere else. There are 2.5 million kinds of insects, at

risk of being destroyed. As deforestation continues and the effects of climate change increase, we run the risk
