The Amazon River is like a heart,
pumping water from the seas through it, and up into the atmosphere
through 600 billion trees, which act like lungs. Clouds form, rain falls
and the forest thrives. In a lyrical talk, Antonio Donato Nobre talks
us through the interconnected systems of this region, and how they
provide environmental services to the entire world. A parable for the
extraordinary symphony that is nature.
