Construction Challenge: "Impossible Project" against Nature
Today, with the development of science and technology, humans have been able to build super projects across the strait and connect the continents, but building a bridge over the Amazon River is still a huge challenge
The Amazon River is the world's largest river flow, its water equivalent to one-fifth of the total global river flow, every second, millions of cubic meters of water rushing down, its water can be imagined, under such a huge water impact, the foundation of any bridge is precarious
The Amazon River basin is located in the tropical rainforest climate, which is hot and rainy all the year round. When the rainy season comes, the river surges, the water level can rise more than ten meters, and even flood the forests on both sides. In the dry season, the river level drops, the river bed is exposed, and the formation of large marshlands brings great difficulties to the construction and maintenance of Bridges

The Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse areas on earth, known as the "lung of the earth" and "biological gene bank", with the continuous expansion of human activities, this "green treasure" is facing unprecedented threats
The construction of the bridge will cause damage to the ecological environment of the Amazon rainforest. The construction of the bridge needs to cut down a large number of trees and destroy the integrity of the forest, which will directly threaten the survival of plants and animals in the rainforest. The construction of the bridge will also attract more people and industries to enter the rainforest area, further intensifying the development and destruction of rainforest resources
In order to protect this "lung of the earth", the international community has been trying to find a balance between economic development and environmental protection. Building a bridge over the Amazon River may bring convenience of transportation and economic development, but it may also cause irreversible damage to this fragile ecosystem
