Mitchell 4


This top picture represents that trees are the lungs of earth, and that we are destroying them.



The Amazon Rainforest (also known as Amazonia) is the biggest rainforest in the world. It is nicked named “The lungs of Earth”, because it produces about 20% of Earth’s oxygen. The vegetation turns carbon dioxide into oxygen.
The Amazon Rainforest is found in South America, in 8 different countries: Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana.
About half of the planet’s remaining tropical rainforests are found in the Amazon.
