The Amazon Rainforest Challenge!

Where: Amazon basin, South America
What: The largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world

Interesting facts:

The Amazon basin encompasses 7,000,000 square kilometres (2,700,000 sq mi), of which 5,500,000 square kilometres (2,100,000 sq mi) are covered by the rainforest.
The rainforest spans 9 countries in South America: Brazil (60% of the rainforest), Peru (13%), Colombia (10%), Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
It comprises an estimated 390 billion individual trees and is home to about 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, and some 2,000 birds and mammals.
More than 56% of the dust fertilizing the Amazon rainforest comes from the Bodélé depression in Northern Chad in the Sahara desert. The dust contains phosphorus, important for plant growth. The yearly Sahara dust replaces the equivalent amount of phosphorus washed away yearly in Amazon soil from rains and floods.
The Lower Amazon begins where the darkly colored waters of the Rio Negro meet the sandy colored Rio Solimões, and for over 6 km (4 mi) these waters run side by side without mixing. This area is also called Encontro das Águas (Meeting of Waters).
Deforestation is a major threat to the ecosystem of the rainforest and a cause of increased greenhouse emissions, reduced biodiversity, disruption of water cycles, increased soil erosion and a threat to indigenous peoples.

GOOD LUCK on the challenge! Create for us some breath-taking masterpieces of the Amazon Rainforest for some awesome GA wins!
