Amazon
Spanning eight countries, the Amazon biome is home to one in 10 known species on Earth, 2.2 million square miles of dense forest, 20% of the world's available freshwater and 47 million people. The region plays a critical role in the health of our planet but its forests and freshwater systems are under threat.
