22、洋，到处都是动物的声音。这是亚马孙雨 林。 作为世界上最大的热带雨林，它在维持地球生态系统的良好平衡方面发挥着 重要作用。 亚马孙雨林横跨南美大陆的八个国家，包括巴西、秘鲁以及法属圭亚那。亚 马孙雨林面积约 600 万平方公里，相当于中国面积的一半以上。亚马孙河接近 6 400 公里长，比长江大约还长 100 公里，亚马孙雨林便是由其得名。从山区流到 海洋，这条河支撑着许多不同的生态系统。它们使这个地区拥有地球上最丰富的 生物多样性：世界上已知的物种有十分之一在这里能够被发现。 在我们已知的 39 万种植物中，有 4 万多种能在亚马孙雨林中找到。高大而 古老的巴西坚果树出产我们可以吃的坚果；这
23、些睡莲大得可以让人躺在上面。雨 林的不同层次使种类多到难以置信的野生动植物得以生存。在底部，有一个地表 下的根系。在那之上是在黑暗的雨林地面上的大量落叶。再往上的一层是长着大 叶的较矮的植物。然后是高耸而古老的阔叶树，最后是离地面好几米高的阳光照 射的树梢。雨林的每一层都形成了自己的小世界，是各种生物的家园。 1 300 多种鸟类和 400 多种哺乳动物藏身于亚马孙雨林的植物中。这只美洲 豹就是一个例子。它长着一身带黑色斑点的黄褐色的皮毛。尽管相当多的美洲豹 在这里生存， 但它们只是这个雨林食物链的一个要素。它们以包括青蛙在内的至 少 87 种动物为食。这些青蛙转而以昆虫为食，而昆虫则吃树叶和水果。当美洲 豹死亡时，一小群微生物帮助分解它的尸体，并将营养物质还给大地。 7 亚马孙雨林能固定碳， 而且产生的氧气超过全球总量的 20%， 从而使得地球 生生不息。因此，它经常被称为“地球之肺”。此外，亚马孙雨林还是一个有食 用或药用价值的物种宝库。 然而， 这些不能替代的动植物面临着一个主要的危险： 我们人类。在过去的 50 年里，由于农耕和养牛等人类活动，大约 17%的雨林消 失了。 人类活动的影响不断增大， 濒危物种名单越来越长， 这留给我们一个问题： 我们能承担得起损伤“地球之肺”的后果吗
