Today we’re celebrating the Amazon rainforest, 🌎💚 the beating heart of our planet. Beyond its stunning beauty, what does the Amazon rainforest mean to the world, and to our fight against climate change? ➡️ The Amazon is the world's biggest rainforest. It spans nine countries and covers 40% of South America. It’s around 3.2 million square miles—roughly five times the size of Alaska. ➡️ As one of the Earth’s primary carbon sinks, the Amazon absorbs 100 million metric tons of CO₂ every year, help

🔥The Amazon is burning at a 14-year high, and it’s not just trees at risk—it's entire species.🐒🐆 Animals with no place left to go are being pushed to extinction by the flames. If the Amazon falls, we lose one of Earth’s most critical biodiversity hotspots. Please, make an urgent donation today to help safeguard the Amazon from further destruction. | Rainforest Action Network - RAN
