Amazonia
The name Amazonia is given to the Amazonian lowlands in northern Brazil, which have an area of just under 6 million sq.km/2.3 million sq.mi. The region, much of which is flooded during the rainy season, still preserves the largest continuous area of tropical forest in the world, a refuge for many Indian tribes. The over-felling of the forest, however, not only threatens the habitat of the Indians but has had environmental effects which are felt throughout the world.
Ecology
Over the last twenty-five years or so Brazil has been making great efforts to develop the economic resources of this vast territory.
