Which forest is lungs of earth

The Amazon forest is not a big source of oxygen since the trees consume almost all of it through photosynthesis — the process used by plants to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities. In addition, marine photosynthesis also emits oxygen. However, the Amazon forest is of crucial importance for the biodiversity and the climate regulation of the American continent. Experts say that the greatest production of oxygen comes from the oceans, precisely from plant microorganisms called phytoplankton.

The number of human-made fires is growing and growing, which has literally plagued the Amazon in recent years and disturbed the ecosystem drastically. Large animals like Jaguars and Puma might escape from fire, but slow-moving animals like sloths, pangolins, small creatures like frogs and lizards might die due to not having the capability to move out quickly from this fire. The wildfires will have a devastating effect on the flora and fauna of the region. The impact on species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians and bird species will come in two phases i.

In the long run, the entire food chain will be disturbed due to opening of the canopy due to massive fire and destruction of the forest, as direct bringing in of sunlight will fundamentally change the energy flow of the entire ecosystem. Not just animals living on land, animals surviving underwater might also be affected due to change in water chemistry. There are certain species, who use land as well as water both for their survival, these species also bear the risk of getting killed by fire.
