One specific ecosystem where human intervention has significantly altered it is the Amazon rainforest. Before human intervention, the Amazon rainforest was a vast, biodiverse tropical forest covering approximately 5.5 million square kilometers across South America (Rainforest Foundation US, 2023). It was home to countless species of plants, animals, and microorganisms and played a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Indigenous communities lived in harmony with the forest, relying on its resources sustainably for their livelihoods.
