Northern Region - Brazil

SSSSAVE THE PLANET. IT'S ASKING YOU FOR THIS...





AMAZONAS!!! Well, this is the word that we brazilian people call women who ride horses...
But, of course we are talking about the largest river in the world!
This region is the largest but also is the least inhabited of the country. For those who prefer numbers, the northern corresponding to 45.27% of the national territory! WOW!!! And talking about people, they're only 3.8 inhabitants per km2.
What else can we say about this fabulous brazilian part???
The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforest and comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world.
The diversity of plant species is the highest on earth with some experts estimating that one square kilometre may contain over 75,000 types of trees and 150,000 species of higher plants.
Oh no... Higher plants isn't such a appropriate place to have our horse back holidays... We'll see...
One square kilometre of Amazon rainforest can contain about 90,790 tonnes of living plants. This constitutes the largest collection of living plants and animal species in the world. One in five of all the birds in the world live in the rainforests of the Amazon. To date, an estimated 438,000 species of plants of economic and social interest have been registered in the region with many more remaining to be discovered or catalogued.
Excuse me guys... ButI have to stop here and say that it's something which makes me really proud about my country!!! Its biodiversity! Incredible. Isn't it?
The economy of the North Region is essentially based on the vegetal plantation and extraction, such as latex, acai (to be continued)...
It better I continue to write later cause now I have to have an acai bowl!!! Has anyone ever tasted this fruit? According to my swiss friends its tastes many fruits, flavors and smells in just one spoon! Brilliant definition, girls.
...woods, and nuts; and mineral extraction of gold, precious stones, beautiful cassiterite, and tin (metal); as well as mining exploitation, mainly iron and manganese.
The population of northern Brazil is largely made up of Caboclos, descendants of Indians and Portuguese of course...
The north of Brazil has received and continues to receive large migration of people from other regions.
