Where is the world’s largest forest located?

The world’s largest forest is the Amazon Rainforest, located primarily in Brazil, though it also extends into several other South American countries such as Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela. The Amazon covers about 5.5 million square kilometers (2.1 million square miles) and is home to more than 390 billion individual trees. It is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, containing countless species of plants, animals, and microorganisms, many of which are still undiscovered. The Amazon plays a key role in regulating the Earth’s climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen.
