Amazon National Park protects a core 9,940 sq km of the world's largest rainforest at the confluence of the Amazon and Tapajos rivers, boasting over 2,000 plant species and 550 bird species. This Brazilian reserve, part of the Amazon Biosphere Reserve, acts as a critical buffer against deforestation. It harbors 300 fish species—10% more than the typical tropical park—but lags behind #4, Galapagos, in endemic species concentration.
