The map is a map of Peru and it cities. I provided a map of Peru because I think you should know the cities in the country you are traveling, so you don’t get lost and you know exactly where you are. The next picture shows a type of bird resting on a tree in the rainforest. The bird has many different colors. The last picture shows the Amazon River Basin running through a heavily forested area in Peru. Many trees and many plants surround the basin.
Here is additional information that will help you answer the questions.
According to http://rainforests.mongabay.com/20peru.htm, “Peru has the third largest extent of tropical rainforests in the world, after Brazil and the Democratic Republic of Congo. These forests are some of the richest in the world, both in terms of biological diversity and natural resources (timber, energy, mineral resources).”
“About half of Peru is forested. Of this, more than 80 percent is classified as primary forest. The FAO estimates that the country loses somewhere between 224,000 and 300,000 hectares of forest per year, giving it an annual deforestation rate of 0.35-0.5 percent, a low rate relative to neighboring countries. Most of this deforestation is the result of subsistence agriculture, which can largely be attributed to the migration of farmers from the highlands taking advantage of Peru's land-tenure law which allows people to own land by occupying it for five years.”
“Deforestation and degradation are also increasingly the result of development activities, especially logging, commercial agriculture, mining, gas and oil operations, and road construction.”
