Solution
The Amazon Rainforest is called the “Lungs of the Earth” because its vast forests absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis. It also plays an important role in regulating the global climate, maintaining rainfall, and supporting a huge variety of plants and animals. Therefore, the Amazon is very important for maintaining the balance of the Earth’s environment.
