What’s Hidden Under the Trees of the Amazon Rainforest?

The Amazon rainforest is one of the most fascinating and most mysterious places on Earth. It sprawls seemingly endlessly across a vast area of South America, roughly 6 million square kilometres all in – an area of land that’s about equivalent to ¾ of the continental United States. The majority of the rainforest, about 60 per cent of it, is contained within the borders of Brazil but significant parts of it also extend into Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana.

Wounded soldiers returned

Cambodia on Friday welcomed the return of two wounded soldiers who had been captured by the Thai army after the two sides had already implemented a ceasefire to end five days of combat over competing territorial claims. Their repatriation comes amid accusations and bickering over whether either side had targeted civilians and breached the laws of war, and sharp nationalist feuding on social media. The rest of a 20-member group of Cambodian soldiers captured on Tuesday in one of the disputed pockets of land over which the two sides were fighting remain in Thai hands, and Cambodian officials are demanding their release.
