Brazilian rainforest
South American wilderness
The Brazilian rainforest is the portion of the Amazon rainforest within Brazil's borders—roughly 60% of the world's largest tropical forest.
It appears constantly in discussions of climate change, biodiversity, and deforestation: Fires in the Brazilian rainforest reached record levels.
The term sometimes loosely refers to the entire Amazon basin.
