Often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," the Amazon Rainforest is a huge and varied ecosystem brimming with life. It is home to many of the most unusual and rare wildlife on the earth, covering an area of more than 2.7 million square kilometers over nine South American countries. But what precisely inhabits this deep, enigmatic jungle?

Rescuers think the kids, who also comprised a 13-month-old, a 9-year-old, and a 4-year-old, had been lost in the southern Caqueta region rainforest since the crash.

According to the reports, there were no signs of violence and the officials said that because he had placed brightly coloured feathers around his body, it is believed that the man prepared for his death.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro last Friday ordered the deployment of military personnel to fight the blazes throughout the Amazon region.  

The decision to suspend vacations for ambassadors in certain countries was taken by Minister of Foreign Affairs Ernesto Araújo after an emergency meeting with President Jair Bolsonaro on Sunday evening, the two sources said.
