Amazonian jungle is the biggest in the world and has a very important ecological value: its bio-mass absorbs large quantities of carbon dioxide. The Amazon and its tributaries flow at low rhythm, because of the gradient plane: Manaos, at 1600 km from the Atlantic, is only at 44 o.s.l. the biodiversity of the Amazonian jungle is truly impressive: with 2 million species of insects, dozens of thousands of plants and over 2.000 birds and mammals: a fifth of all the species of birds on earth are in Amazon.

Amazonian jungle constitutes the tenth part of all the woods in the world. The air we breathe is purified mostly in the Amazon because of the plants of the forest in two ways: by delivering oxygen product of the division of the water molecule, that is left of the photosynthesis and assimilating carbon dioxide and carbonic acid to form the necessary carbohydrates for its growing. The large volume of carbon dioxide originated by the decomposition of organic material, vegetal and animal, when it dies, is eliminated as gas and the other converts in carbonic acid, causing a high acidity on forests and savannas soils.
