Overview
Most of the Amazon region is covered by a forest with a surface area of around 6 million square kilometres. It has existed for around 50 million years and has undergone major disturbances but never resetting like in our latitudes following the ice ages. 200,000 species have been identified there to date taking all groups together which gives an estimated total of 1.8 million.
The exhibition "Année internationale des forêts" (International Year of Forests) was designed by the CNRS in French Guiana in collaboration with the CNRS Communication Department and CNRS Images and presents 20 large photos with legends. It offers an overview of research carried out in the Amazonian rain forest by CNRS teams - 2011
