Despite being cut down at an alarming rate, the Amazon rainforest still covers 2.7 million square miles. Growing across nine different countries, it represents over half of the planet’s remaining rainforests, making it the largest and most biodiverse tropical rainforest in the world. The forest is fed by the Amazon river, the largest river in the world by volume, which also has the biggest drainage basin on the planet.
