How big is the Amazon rainforest?
00:00:02
>> The Amazon rainforest is something like
00:00:04
7 million miles squared. It's larger
00:00:07
than the lower 48 states.
00:00:09
>> Wow.
00:00:09
>> It's it's absolutely tremendous. It's
00:00:11
the largest contiguous rainforest on
00:00:13
Earth.
00:00:14
>> And are there parts of it that people
00:00:15
have never been to?
00:00:16
>> 100%. There are still parts of the
00:00:18
Amazon rainforest that are unexplored.
00:00:19
There's parts of the Amazon rainforest
00:00:21
that no one's ever been to. And if you
00:00:23
really want to blow your own mind, the
00:00:25
canopy of the Amazon rainforest is about
00:00:27
150 160 ft up above our heads, which is
00:00:30
far.
00:00:32
Half of the life in a rainforest exists
00:00:34
in the canopy. So you're talking about
00:00:36
the most mega biodiverse biome that has
00:00:39
ever existed. There's never been more
00:00:41
terrestrial wildlife anywhere on Earth
00:00:44
than in the Amazon rainforest. And right
00:00:45
now in the entire fossil record, we
00:00:47
we're at the apex, the climax community
00:00:49
of the Amazon rainforest. It's that
00:00:52
brilliant. Where the Andes, rainforest,
00:00:54
cloud forests meet the lowland tropical
00:00:56
Amazon. There it is. That's the most
00:00:59
life we know of in the entire universe.
