 Oxford University Press: Amazonia
Amazonia is between four and seven million square kilometers in area (the precise figure depending on the definition adopted), including, in Brazil, the Tocantins-Araguaia Basin (which drains into the Pará River, interconnected with the mouth of the Amazon) and the small river basins in Amapá that drain directly into the Atlantic.
Wide discrepancies in estimates for deforestation in Amazonia are often the result of inconsistencies in definitions, including the delimitation of the region itself, the inclusion or exclusion of the cerrado scrub savanna, classification of secondary forests as "forest" or "deforested," and the inclusion of flooding by hydroelectric dams.
Brazil is by far the most important country in tropical forest matters in Amazonia and globally, both in terms of the extent of remaining forest and of the area of forest being cleared each year.
