Geographical Context: The Amazon Rainforest
Situated in the drainage basin of the Amazon River and its tributaries, the Amazon Rainforest is one of the world’s most biologically diverse habitats and harbors millions of animal and plant species, including many that have yet to be documented by science. Since its discovery by Spanish explorer Vicente Yáñez Pinzón in 1500, the Amazon has captured the European imagination as an exotic territory full of both dangers and riches. Over time, many European scientific and commercial expeditions have been launched, motivated by Romantic Portrayals of Wilderness Exploration and Human Greed and Exploitation .

It is a very helpful resource. I find some sections to be exactly what I needed for the lesson plan. Is there a way to access the missing sections?
Hi! I made this when I was teaching the novel as a mixture between a classroom novel and home project, so I didn't make resources for the missing parts. Sorry!

Thank you so much for this - it was just what we needed! Is there a section 2 and 4 anywhere? ;)
