The Amazon is of vital importance because people around the world, as well as locally, depend on the rainforest. Not just for food, water, wood and medicines, but to help stabilise the climate—150-200 billion tons of carbon is stored in the Amazon rainforest.
Though the Amazon covers only four percent of the earth's surface, it contains a third of all known terrestrial plant, animal, and insect species.
The forest produces more than 50 percent of all the rain that falls in the Amazon region, and it probably affects rainfall patterns far outside South America.

The so-called “slash and burn” practice fragments forest ecosystems and erodes their supply capacity. Approximately 1.100 square kilometers of Peruvian forests are cut down each year, about 80% of it illegally. This forest loss not only harms Peru’s trees and extraordinary wildlife; it is also responsible for nearly half of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. Protecting the ecosystems of these regions is a critical action that impacts the Earth’s lung.
