Back in 2011, the U.S. Census Bureaupublished a report breaking down the median household net worth by age and in quintiles. Because I only think comparison is a valuable tool to get a very broad feel for where you stand, I've excluded the lowest and highest quintiles.
The PatauÃ¡ tree is a slow-growing type of palm tree that is found throughout the Amazon. Natives use the tree for many things, including using the palms for roofing, the roots for medicinal purposes, the fruit and oil (which is very high in protein) as a source of nutrition and the fibers in the palms for weaving.
More than 90 percent of the species in the rainforest are insects. Some scientists estimate that there are about 30 million species of invertebrates living in the world's rainforests, and one survey conducted in the Amazon found 50 different species of ants living on a single tree. There are also many different species of birds and frogs living in the rainforest. Species of mammals are less common, but there are still more than 200 species of monkeys and about a dozen species of sloths living in the rainforest. Deforestation causes animal species in the Amazon to die off at alarming rates.
