Traditionally the Amazon was called the "lungs of the Earth" but this is not entirely true. There are many other plants and the biomes which they live in--Boreal Forest being the largest and most significant one--that act as the "lungs of the Earth." So what happens to the Amazon may affect us in different ways, environmentally or economically.
