The largest rainforests in the world are some of the most vital ecosystems on our planet. We look at where they’re located and why they need protecting: Home to over half the world’s plant and animal species, the largest rainforests in the world absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping maintain the balance of the air we breathe while simultaneously playing a critical role in curbing global warming. Despite their immense value, the largest rainforests in the world are under constant threat. More than half of Earth’s trees have already been lost since humans first began cutting them down.
Amazon (my personal favorite) covers most of northwestern Brazil and branches into Colombia, Peru, and other South American countries and is the largest tropical rainforest in the world! If you travel to the Amazon, you’ll find that is an incredibly unique place. It’s comprised of a mosaic of ecosystems: seasonal forests, flooded forests, savannas, and deciduous forests. The Amazon also contains millions of wildlife species, most of them still undiscovered! The diversity of the region is completely staggering with nearly 40,000 plant species and 3,000 freshwater fish species! Travel to the beautiful Brazil in the bounds of South America to see this natural, world wonder for yourself!

Valdivian Temperate Rainforest: This forest spreads over an area of about 248,100 km2, found in west coast of southern South America in Chile and Argentina. Angiosperm trees, bamboos, ferns, conifer trees, narrow coastal strips, ice sheets, glaciers, and a central valley highlight the forest. The temperature is usually humid due to heavy rains. It’s normally very foggy. The rainforest is named after Valdivia, in Southern Chile and named after the city’s founder Pedro de Valdivia. The forest is famous for the endemic plants and 150 foot tall trees in addition to rare species of animals. Some of the old tree species are alerce and olivilo.
The island was created during the Triassic period as a result of volcanic activity, so any wildlife on the island had to swim, fly, or float here. As a result, the only mammal native to Puerto Rico is the bat. In El Yunque you may also see rats and mongoose, the rats brought here on ships as an inherent part of sailing, and the small Indian mongoose imported in 1877 in an attempt to control those very rats in the sugar cane fields. Discover additional info on El Yunque rain forest exploration blog. I have a spiritual background and try to simplify my life (if this is possible?). Therefore I don’t drive or own cars. So my family has many times taken me to the forest, and picked me up after a week, hungry and wasted. My sons also sometimes came with me – Jose and Miguel. All have helped in many ways…
