The Amazon under scrutiny: one area of the rainforest may be home to more than 40,000 insect species
World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported43m ago
A large-scale scientific project in the central Amazon rainforest of Brazil has estimated that a single sector of the forest may contain over 40,000 insect species, many of which remain unidentified by science. This research aims to quantify biodiversity within the region to better understand the ecological complexity of the area.
In a separate conservation effort, the organization Re:wild, co-founded by Leonardo DiCaprio, and the Bezos Earth Fund have announced a 200 million dollar initiative. This funding is dedicated to the recovery of 100 species currently classified as being on the brink of extinction.
