Amazonia, a World Resource At Risk - Published 1992 by National Geographic
Physical & Environmental Map | Amazon Basin, Rainforest & Global Impact | Large Wall Format (707 × 512 mm) | Premium Finishes
A powerful exploration of one of Earth’s most vital ecosystems, Amazonia — A World Resource at Risk reveals the scale, beauty, and fragility of the Amazon Basin. Published by National Geographic in August 1992, this map combines detailed physical mapping with rich illustration and insight—showing why the Amazon matters not just regionally, but globally.
More than a map, it is a visual narrative of a rainforest that plays a critical role in regulating climate, supporting biodiversity, and sustaining life far beyond South America.
