It?s very difficult to measure how dense a forest is. A dense forest is a forest thick with trees or having trees growing very closely together.
Here are the top 5 most dense forest in the world.
1. Amazon Basin
Amazon basin in South America is home to the world?s largest contiguous tropical rain forest. The Amazon is the world?s second longest and the most voluminous river spreading across nine countries. The Amazon basin encompasses 7,000,000 square kilometers (1.2 billion acres), while the forest itself, home to the greatest variety of plants and animals on Earth, occupies some 5,500,000 square kilometers.The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the? rain forest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. One fifth of all the world?s plants and birds and almost? one tenth of all mammal species are found here.?
2. Congo Basin
The Congo river, second longest river in Africa, generates the second largest contiguous rain forest in the planet along with it?s tributaries. his vast forest runs through six African countries (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Gabon, Congo and Zaire) stretching from the Mountains of the Moon in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo to the coast of the Gulf of Guinea. ?It is a land made famous by the adventures of Stanley and Livingstone and known as a place of brutality and violence for its past.
3. Southeast Asia
The Southeast Asian rain forests are the oldest, the most consistent rain forests on the planet. These forests are there since Pleistocene Epoch for more than 70 million years. Southeast Asian forests are one of the Earth?s most biologically diverse forests. These rain forests stretch from India and Burma in the west to Malaysia and the islands of Java and Borneo in the east.?
