The biodiversity of Amazonia...
The Amazon River basin is claimed to be one of the areas in the world which has the greatest known biodiversity. During the past decade, more than 1200 species of plants and animals - fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals - were discovered and classified there, a World Wildlife Fund (WWF) report claimed. So on average a new species is discovered every three days. "The number of discoveries of new species is just amazing," said Sarah Hutchinson, WWF coordinator in Brazil. "And this does not include the many groups of insects that are discovered." This helps to balance the loss of species elsewhere in the world in the same time frame.
