Tahuamanú Rainforest, Peru

Located in the Madre de Dios region, Peru, the Tahuamanú Rainforest is one of the largest supplies of mahogany in the world. A natural habitat for many rare animal species such as giant armadillos, jaguars and parrots, the rainforest has constantly been depleted by illegal logging. The unique local ecosystem has also been damaged by gold mining companies that have polluted the waters in the region.
