BEWARE! The plan of making the Amazon (the "lung" of the planet) a new world heritage is just a plan from U.S. to get petroleum from there.There is another "lung" in north of U.S. and Canada, the big boreal forests, but they do not want to make it a world heritage place because is not convenient for them. Do not make this ecological problem happen! do not accept this!

Did you know that more than half of the world's estimated 10 million species of plants, animals and insects live in the tropical rainforests?

@DIGItalColourMedia I ask that question every time I see something from the Amazon. Don't they realize this forest is also great for the humans (even ones thousands of miles away)? It supplies much of the earth's oxygen and there have been many flora and fauna discovered there with medicinal qualities.

the amazon is a great place for animal lovers but most animals are dangerous therefor man cannot cut down all the tree becuase soon the'll get to the snakes, crocadiles and sharks >:)
