It is located in South America and covers about 5.5 million square kilometers. It is called “the lungs of the earth” because it produces a lot of oxygen for the world. The Amazon Rainforest has the largest variety of plants and animals on earth. There are about 40,000 kinds of plants and more than 2.5 million kinds of animals there, including many rare birds and colourful fish. Many local people live in the Amazon Rainforest and they live on the forest’s resources. But now the rainforest is in danger. People cut down too many trees for wood and farmland. This makes the area of the rainforest smaller and smaller. Many animals lose their homes and some even die out. We must protect the Amazon Rainforest. We can stop cutting down too many trees and plant more trees. Scientists also do a lot of research on it to find better ways to protect it. The Amazon Rainforest is important to the whole world, so everyone should play a part in protecting it. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题 1. Where is the Amazon Rainforest located? 2.
