Which country owns Amazon River? <\/h2>\n

The Amazon is the world’s largest rainforest, covering over five million square kilometers (two million square miles). It is home to an estimated 400 billion trees and tens of thousands of plant and animal species. The Amazon is a vital part of the global climate system, providing 20% of the Earth’s oxygen and absorbing vast amounts of carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n

The Amazon is under threat from deforestation, agriculture, and climate change. Deforestation is the conversion of forested areas to non-forested land. In the Amazon, this is typically done for cattle ranching, soybean production, and logging. Agriculture is the main driver of deforestation in the Amazon, accounting for 80% of total deforestation. Climate change is also a major threat to the Amazon, as it is predicted to cause more extreme weather events and droughts, which will lead to more forest fires.<\/p>\n
