The Amazon has the largest continuous tropical forest shared by nine countries! It covers 6.6m sq km in total. However, western Africa (e.g., Gabon, Congo) and part of Asia (e.g., Indonesia, Papua New Guinea) share also a good portion of the world’s rainforest. Endangered Species International is leading the way to save rainforest. New projects are on the way in western Africa and Papua New Guinea where large pristine rainforest remains but under considerable threats. Photos from around the world by Pierre Fidenci
