Perhaps the most mysterious and magical place on Earth, the Amazon contains the largest expanse of tropical forest in the world and harbors approximately one-third of its species.
Tropical birds, pink and gray river dolphins, amazonian manatees, spider monkeys and jaguars all find their home in this vast wilderness as do ancient indigenous communities that have lived in these forests for hundreds of years. As the Amazon Rainforest faces rapid deforestation, The Nature Conservancy is working to protect this wondrous forest and the way of life it supports.
