The Amazon River, a geographical giant, is the world's second-longest and most voluminous, supporting a rich tapestry of biodiversity and indigenous cultures. Originating from the Andes, it flows through the Amazon Rainforest, the 'lungs of the Earth,' and faces environmental threats. Its hydrological system is crucial for regional climates and ecosystems, making it a focal point for conservation efforts and educational exploration.
