The Amazon basin is the part of South America drained by the Amazon River and its tributaries. The Amazon drainage basin covers an area of about 7,050,000 km2 (2,720,000 sq mi), or roughly 40 percent of the South American continent. It is located in the countries of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela.
Most of the basin is covered by the Amazon Rainforest, also known as Amazonia. With a 5,500,000 km2 (2,100,000 sq mi) area of dense tropical forest, this is the largest rainforest in the world.
The Amazon basin is bounded by the Guiana Highlands to the north and the Brazilian Highlands to the south. The Amazon River, which rises in the Andes Mountains at the west of the basin, is usually considered to be the second longest river in the world. However, a team of Brazilian scientists claim that the Amazon is the longest river in the world. It covers about 6,400 km before draining into the Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon and its tributaries form the largest volume of water. The Amazon accounts for about 20% of the total water carried to the oceans by rivers. Some of the Amazon rainforest is deforested because of the increasing of cattle ranches and soy beans field.

The Amazon is one of the richest areas of the world in animal and plant diversity. There can be more plant species in one hectare of Amazon rainforest than there are in all of Europe. The diversity and contrast of life in the Amazon is startling. The Amazon water lily is the biggest flower in the world with a diameter of two metres. The Caranguejeira spider is bigger than a baseball and one species of monkey weighing 130 grams is about the size of a toothbrush. The Amazon is also home to 57 endangered species including the jaguar. The jaguar population was all but wiped out by hunting for the fur trade before it was designated a protected species. Even now, virtually nothing is known about the jaguars' lifestyle, but some indigenous cultures of the Amazon revere the jaguar above all fores...
A documentary I made for a geography class last year (2006). It is an editing job of several full length documentaries (yes, copyrighted material but are all credited at the end). I narrated this video. It's kind of simple but I hope it helps someone or someone finds it interesting.
5 TERRIFYING PREDATORS of the Amazon River Basin! Many thanks for watching! We hope you find this educational video to your liking! The 5 deadly animals are as follows... 5. GREEN ANACONDA The GREEN ANACONDA is the world's largest (heaviest) snake species in existence (and one of the world's most dangerous constrictive animals)... Fast movers in all depths of water, Anacondas will typically lie-in-wait, before striking with their powerful jaws and using their enormous muscular strength to suffocate their prey. 4. ELECTRIC EEL An apex predator, the ELECTRIC EEL can produce deadly high voltage charges... Transmitting up to 600 volts per charge (enough to knock a horse of its feet), Electric Eels are responsible for the stunning and subsequent drowning deaths of many in t...
This 6x52 toro stick features a dark brown mottled firmly packed wrapper with medium veins, visible seams, sloppy double cap, oily butter soft feel and pungent cocoa and leather aroma. First light reveals a good draw with smooth mild-medium smoke output showing a unique combo of a zingy earth, nuttiness, touch of sweetness and fleeting cocoa on the draw while the finish holds on to the nuttiness and adds a pepper zing. The first third burns well enough producing good medium bodied smoke showing flavors of a slightly sweet earth, bit of a pepper zing especially on the finish and a fleeting coffee note on the draw. The 1/2 way point comes at 30 minutes with flavor transitions to a thicker syrupy sweet earth and coffee core that sticks through the fuller finish with a hot pepper on the ret...
Stanford ecologist Jose Fragoso teaches indigenous people in the Amazon basin how to catalog the plants and animals near their villages, gaining large amounts of data not otherwise available. He finds that spiritual areas, where hunting is not allowed, act as valuable reservoirs of animals.

Contribute to the Project: http://igeo.tv/contribuye-al-proyecto/ Deforestation in the entire Amazon basin, considered the green lung of the world is worse than previously thought. Fundamentally, those human activities are degrading the Amazon rainforest twice the rate previously estimated. Considered the largest river basin in the world, the Amazon is a giant tropical forest ecosystem over an area of 7 million square kilometers. It is also considered as the richest biological reserves in the world, with millions of species of insects, plants, birds and other life forms, many of which have not yet been recorded by science. But beyond that, the basin regulates climate of almost all South America and large processors trees are carbon dioxide and oxygen suppliers. Recent studies indicate ...

We've done a lot of travel in Peru; however, we've yet to visit the Amazon basin jungle area up in the north. With an opportunity to take a river cruise in the Amazon we flew from Lima to Iquitos. Visiting Iquitos, the largest city in the region, was a place we stayed for two nights. Our first impressions of the city were favorable as we had an opportunity to take a tuk-tuk ride (known locally as motocar), explore markets, enjoy local delicacies and visit the Belen water stilt village and pet friendly cats and dogs. Come join us as we pound the pavement giving you a tour of Iquitos, Peru.

Travel video about destination Manu. Deep within the Peruvian Rainforest on the western edge of the Amazon Basin is one of the most impressive nature reservations in the world, the Manu Biosphere Reservation.The Manu National Park covers an area of more than eighteen thousand square kilometres and is one of the largest untouched rainforests in South America. Very few settlers live in the almost inaccessible tropical rainforests in the south east of Peru. Apart from natural rainfall the park's most important supply of water comes from the Rio Manu, its source being four thousand metres up in the Paucartambo Mountains, a section of the Andes.The Rio Manu is one of the final refuges and breeding areas for the threatened River Turtle. Along the river's tributaries there is another rare and thr...

The Amazon rainforest (Portuguese: Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia; Spanish: Selva Amazónica, Amazonía or usually Amazonia; French: Forêt amazonienne; Dutch: Amazoneregenwoud), also known in English as Amazonia or the Amazon Jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses 7,000,000 square kilometres (2,700,000 sq mi), of which 5,500,000 square kilometres (2,100,000 sq mi) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, Colombia with 10%, and with minor amounts in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations contain "Amaz...

Amazonian wildlife The Amazon Basin is the world's largest rainforest, drainage area for its second largest river and one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Tropical forests have been present in South America for millions of years and were at one point spread over most of the continent. As the Earth cooled and grasslands spread, the rainforests retreated to strongholds like the Amazon Basin, shrinking and growing as ice ages came and went. Today's Amazon rainforest covers around 5.5 million square kilometres and sprawls across nine countries. It is hugely biodiverse, with some 10% of the species known to science calculated to be found there.

The Amazon River Basin holds 20% of the world 's freshwater and produces 20% of the world's oxygen. And plays a major role in stabilizing the earth's ecosystem. But the balance is shifting. Production and profit for a fast-growing economy jeopardizes the preservation of Amazonia. As Brazilians-and the world-watch to see which side wins.
National geographic - Amazon River Documnetary - BBC wildlife animal documentary The Amazon River (US /ˈæməzɒn/ or UK /ˈæməzən/; Spanish and Portuguese: Amazonas) in South America is the largest river by discharge of water in the world, and either the second or first in length. Although the Amazon's most distant source has been accepted for nearly a century as the headwaters of the Apurímac river on Nevado Mismi,[4] a 2014 study indicates that the Amazon's most distant source is on the Cordillera Rumi Cruz at the headwaters of the Mantaro river in Peru.[5] The Mantaro and Apurímac confluence, and with other tributaries form the Ucayali, which in turn confluences with the River Marañón upstream of Iquitos, Peru, to form what countries other than Brazil consider to be the main stem of the A...

We partake of this harder to come by Limited Edition cigar.Does it live up to the hype? Will I see visions of psychedelic tobacco beetles after smoking the band? Watch and find out! CAO Amazon Basin is a very limited new extension to CAO’s ultra-popular Brazilia blend. Just don’t expect more of the same, because this unique small-batch blend is like nothing ever before. The special sauce used to create Amazon Basin is a tobacco called ’Braganca,’ a rare tobacco harvested from a remote region in the Amazonian rainforest. It’s really crazy, actually. Everything from its taste to the way it’s cultivated. Grown in a virgin, tropical land in the rainforest and harvested only once every 3 years, Braganca may be one of the most elusive tobaccos in the world. After the tobacco is harvested, it’...
