Solution
Amazon rain forest
Explanation:
The vast Amazon rainforest and other tropical rainforests are often called the “lungs of the planet Earth” because they take in billions of tons of carbon dioxide and, through photosynthesis, release billions of tons of oxygen into the atmosphere. This process helps maintain atmospheric oxygen levels and combats the greenhouse effect, making these forests vital for the Earth’s climate and air quality.
