The Amazon Rainforest holds geographical significance because it is a home to many species of living plants and animals. The Amazon Rainforest is located in South America. Even though the rainforest covers only 6% of the world, 50% of all kinds of species live in the Amazon Rainforest. The rainforest is also known as the "Lungs of the Pacific", because it is a place that has a lot of trees. The trees in the rainforest provides all the positive oxygen which makes all the living creatures in the rainforest to live. The plants in the rainforest are used by many people to make many different types of medicines. For example, 70% of plants found to have anticancer properties are found only in the rainforest.
