The Amazon jungle covers half the world’s rainforests. It stores large amounts of carbon and has a high biodiversity. The 55 million year old rainforest faces an uncertain future in few decades, mainly due to the effects of climate change and deforestation: it could partially turn into savannah. There is a growing global demand for soya and cattle farming, and Brazilian farmers have access to the land they need in the Amazon. Salad is also tasty, get really friendly with it if you haven’t already.
