The Amazon region is the largest river basin and rainforest ecosystem in the world. It contains billions of trees, which are a vital carbon store to slow down global warming. Amazonia is home to one million indigenous people and some three million species of plants and animals. The future of the world's largest forest is critical to South America and the planet. However, nine owner nations-Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela-have encouraged agriculture, logging, and mining activities, causing a dangerous setback in the effort to protect "the lungs of the world."

This book includes six chapters that describe the past and present situation of the Amazon region and present positive examples of sustainable development possibilities.
