1. Amazon
It is also known as Amazonia or Amazon Jungle. It is the largest jungle in the world and covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. It is spread over an area of 1.7 billion acres. The forest runs through Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. Majority of the forest is contained in Brazil which is around 60 percent. I visited this particular forest when I was two years old. Of course I do not remember that; the information comes to me from my mother. It is a beautiful canvas set in green.
2. The Congo RainForest
This forest can be found in the Central Africa and it happens to be the second largest rainforest in the entire world. It also has one of the longest rivers running from within it. The rainforest covers a bigger part of Northern Congo. A lot of hunting has put many different species of animals in danger however, the jungle itself is very much safe. Have you ever heard of the pygmy chimpanzee? Yeah, well it lives only in the Congo rainforest. There are many other precious species living in the cover of this forest.
3. Valdivian Temperate RainForest
This particular forest is spread over an area of about 248,100 square kilometers and can be found in Chile and Argentina. Angiosperm trees, bamboos, conifer trees, narrow coastal strips, ice sheets, glaciers and a central valley highlight the forest. The temperature is usually humid due to heavy rains. It’s normally very foggy here, which I love; I love fog. The ecosystem in this particular forest is maintained by various conservation groups. They are trying to at least, which in my opinion is a smart move.
