与亚马逊的树冠一起摇摆(Sway with the Amazonian canopy)

在亚马逊雨林的树冠上穿过这座吊桥意味着要依靠森林的树木来支撑你。同样，地球上生命的生存取决于亚马逊森林的树木。亚马孙河储存的碳是化石燃料年全球排放量的10倍以上，并支撑着地球上所有已知动植物物种的约10%。亚马逊河排放的水比地球上任何其他河流都多，几乎20%的河流流入海洋的水都流经亚马逊河流域。虽然亚马逊河的近三分之二位于巴西，但它横跨其他七个国家，从安第斯山脉到大西洋。这一部分树冠位于秘鲁的坦博帕塔自然保护区，这里是巨型鹰、金刚鹦鹉、美洲虎、水豚、树懒和巨型水獭的栖息地。

To cross this suspension bridge in the canopy of the Amazon rainforest means depending on the trees of the forest to support you. Similarly, the survival of life on Earth depends on the trees of the Amazon forest. Amazonia stores more carbon than 10 times the annual global emissions from fossil fuel and supports approximately 10% of all known animal and plant species on Earth. The Amazon River discharges more water than any other river on earth, and almost 20% of all water that flows into the ocean from rivers travels through the Amazon River basin. While almost two thirds of the Amazon lie in Brazil, it stretches across seven other countries, from the Andes Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. This section of canopy is in Peru’s Tambopata Natural Reserve, home to giant harpy eagles, macaws, jaguars, capybaras, sloths, and giant otters.
