rainforest rivers

Tropical forest streams

Rivers flowing through tropical rainforests, characterized by warm temperatures, heavy rainfall, and dense surrounding vegetation.

These waterways often carry nutrient-rich sediment and support extraordinary biodiversity.

The Amazon, Congo, and Mekong are major rainforest rivers.

Rainforest rivers sustain ecosystems found nowhere else on Earth.
