Text or other creative content from this version of Amazon rainforest was copied or moved into Deforestation in Brazil with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Originally, the infobox only had Spanish and Portuguese translations of "Amazon rainforest." Now, we've added Dutch, as that is spoken in the Surinamese Amazon. Should we add French, considering the presence of French Guiana? Or would this make it too cluttered? Zoozoor (talk) 04:22, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

The map included in this article shows the Amazon Basin and Biome, but no map delineating the actual Amazon rainforest. Is there a reason one isn’t included? 174.91.149.60 (talk) 11:45, 8 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

The current map seems to treat the Amazon rainforest as synonymous with the Amazon biome, but the lead implies that it is only a part of the Amazon basin. I'm always a bit surprised the Guianas treated as part of Amazonia but this seems common. Srnec (talk) 19:38, 4 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
