The Amazon rainforest is often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth" because it produces a significant amount of the world's oxygen through photosynthesis. Covering parts of several South American countries, it plays a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide, thus helping to mitigate climate change. Its vast biodiversity and dense vegetation contribute to its vital function in maintaining global ecological balance. However, deforestation poses a serious threat to its ability to perform this essential role.
