PART II: Read the following text and answer the questions.

The Amazon rainforest is a vast and vibrant ecosystem teeming with life. It covers an area larger than most European countries and holds ten percent of the world's known species. This biodiversity makes it a prime destination for tourists seeking a unique and unforgettable experience. However, traditional tourism can have a negative impact on this delicate environment. Ecotourism offers a more sustainable alternative, focusing on responsible travel that benefits both the rainforest and local communities.

Ecotourism trips typically involve small groups led by experienced guides who are knowledgeable about the rainforest's ecology. They prioritize activities that minimize environmental impact, like nature walks, wildlife observation, and boat trips on rivers. These tours educate visitors about the rainforest's importance and the threats it faces.

Staying in eco-lodges built with local materials minimizes disruption to the ecosystem. These lodges often employ local people, providing them with income and fostering a sense of ownership over the rainforest's preservation. Ecotourism also supports local businesses that sell traditional crafts and products, promoting cultural exchange and economic growth.

Questions:

1. How many percent of the world's known species does the Amazon rainforest hold?

→ _______________________________

_________________________________
