Most important place on earth. Where?

[Lida93]

Hi guys!
Please don't get it twisted, this is a thread for the sake of knowledge and discussion. I am someone with an unquenchable interest in reading, listening or watching news on regular basis, and for me it's a hobby. Most times I feel emptied should a day pass by without inclining myself to a news broadcast. Am sure there are some persons here that are like that too.

Apart from news I also interest myself with documentaries. Just the other day I was watching a particular documentary on Aljazeera about nature and  one correspondent made a statement claiming that "the most important place on earth is the  Amazon", and this got me marveling how so. What could be her reasons for this claim.

In such wise, for the sake of knowledge and discussion as I earlier expressed above. In your own opinion where on earth do you think is the most important place on earth and why such a place?

It will be difficult to agree that the Amazon is the most important place on earth when not everyone has been there or even have an idea of what exactly has made this Amazon the most important place to this person. The most important places on earth depends on every individual because it is based on certain reasons. For me the most important place on earth to me is my home.

I am curious to know where is the Amazon located around the glob to be named the most important place on earth even though I doubt that because not all of us know how that place looks like so then how can we now agree that Amazon is the most important place on earth.

There is no gain in saying that different countries have some incredible and out-of-human-capacity locations and reserves, and this will dash off every form of argument.

Amazon may rank among the best location around the world but certainly not the first on the list if there is any.

Did that reporter explain why Amazon? Every region of the world is the same, and there is no most important place on this earth that needs to be protected. I think as long as there is a human presence, it is an important place, and we need to protect all of those places. In addition, we should pay more attention to the climate issue because I see our earth is on the verge of danger when the world is getting warmer, and we still don't have an effective solution to this problem.

I think the selection of the Amazon as the most important place on the world was made in the context of that forest having much of an impact on the climate and the availability of oxygen in the atmosphere. It has been called "the lung of the planet" for that reason before.

And while we can have different opinions on the where the most important place is, I kind of agree on how important the Amazon forest is, and I would personally loved if it was preserved for future generations.

It's actually not "named" the most important place on earth. Like I said, it was a claim or an opinion of a correspondent that the Amazon is the most important place on earth. And draw from @Hispo statement, I also agree that what must have made the correspondent say so is not unconnected to the atmospheric positive significance the Amazon has on issue of climate change and the countless of species the Amazon hosts as a green natural environment.

Edit:
Not to say that there are not places in the other parts of the world like Amazon but it's just the correspondent opinion based on her perception. I guess so!

[Ndabagi01]

When I saw this post, I was only wondering about Amazon's location on the planet. I used to think it was merely the name of an online retailer and web service provider.

Being a rainforest in South America and occupying around 6.7 million square kilometers shared by nine countries, its favorable contribution to climate change has made it a crucial location to be protected well for future uses.
 
Being a rainforest with such resources does not automatically make it the best place on the planet. No matter how beautiful and appealing a forest appears to the sight, it is never a decent location for me to find comfort and live.

[Doan9269]

There are many beautiful places around the world well developed, but not secured enough for people to live in, there is no safer place on earth than the comfort of one's mindset, weall know how violence had been roaming about in everyone whereby even the secured places got attacked and hijacked, but when we are satisfied and contempted by what we had, we will always live a complementary life and make everywhere peaceable for a living for everyone.

Notwithstanding the hearts of those people who believe in Jesus-salvation...

The most important place in the earth is the area of Jerusalem in Israel, and areas East of it. Why? Because the History of the Bible Old Testament shows and tells us this.

Jerusalem is the place where the great and 'holy' king of Abraham's day lived... Melchizedek. It's the area of the Garden of Eden - East of Jerusalem. It's the place where Jesus died for the sins of the whole world and arose to life, again, on the third day - just outside of Jerusalem.

People live many other places, but God's people around the world carry a piece of this area in their hearts, even if they don't know it.

I understand your point and what I was trying to point out is the ability not to overwrite the possibility of having another place around the world that houses some of the world's most precious species and items such that we have I'm the Amazon or even greater because there is the possibility of that also.

We may have not record of such a place for now and until the discovery of such a place, we will have to continue to rate Amazon as the best and one of the most important places on earth.

Are we now taking every correspondent word literally as an absolute truth? There are several document makers with different agendas. But i agree it's important.

He/she could have meant that they contain ton of unexplored plants, insects and wildlife that could expedite medical break troughs. Or maybe that it's on the brink of doom because people are cutting it down. Also you didn't specify that to whom its most important. Humans in general or for the life in this planet, that it is sustaining as lungs of earth?

There is no single place which outweighs other places, the planet as a whole has been in an equilibrium with every part of nature in balance ^{until humans appeared}.

Some notable places which are high profile places are:
The Poles, north and south
The Oceans
The forests

Look at what WWF has to say, there are many places of high importance

https://www.worldwildlife.org/places

WWF works to protect places based on the wealth and variety of life they support,
the destructive challenges they face, and our ability to positively impact them.

ASIA
Amur-Heilong
Borneo and Sumatra
Coral Triangle
Eastern Himalayas
Greater Mekong
Yangtze

AFRICA
Coastal East Africa
Congo Basin
Madagascar
Namibia

SOUTH AMERICA
Amazon
Atlantic Forest
Pantanal
Southern Chile
The Galápagos

NORTH AMERICA
Arctic
Chihuahuan Desert
Gulf of California
Mesoamerican Reef

Apart from news I also interest myself with documentaries. Just the other day I was watching a particular documentary on Aljazeera about nature and  one correspondent made a statement claiming that "the most important place on earth is the  Amazon", and this got me marveling how so. What could be her reasons for this claim.

Most of the world's rainforests have been destroyed due to industrialization and urbanization. This has harmed the environment. It is generally believed that the destruction of the ecosystem by industrial activities is the cause of global warming and other natural disasters. Currently, the Amazon rainforest is the largest natural habitat in the world. And it is one of the biggest contributors to the balancing of the ecosystem. This is why developed nations heavily pay nations like Brazil to ensure that the Amazon is allowed to exist and to avoid deforestation. Brazil usually uses the Amazon as an economic and political instrument to seek the attention of the industrialized nations.

In such wise, for the sake of knowledge and discussion as I earlier expressed above. In your own opinion where on earth do you think is the most important place on earth and why such a place?

There might be other important places that affect our lives positively but the most important place to me is my country. Yes, the world is a global village where every nation is interconnected and interdependent. The political or economic problems in any country will affect me indirectly, but if it is within my nation, I will be affected directly. I have always prayed for world peace but I am more concerned about peace in my country.

Sincerely speaking, have never thought about this anyday in my life, Have never thought about the most important place on Earth, not to talk more of saying it might be Amazon, I must confess we learn everyday, and have learnt from this trend now, I had to go and make researches on goggle on the most important place on Earth, though have not really gotten the answer to be Amazon, but I will keep searching and come back to this trend to give my answers properly...

there is no particular evidence to prove that Amazon is the most preferable or important place to live or to stay so if they want us to believe let there be an evidence that Showcase the truth of what they're saying or what they're writing about because I believe that if such should be in existence the most to be hip roof believing

According to the guy in charge of the documentary, Amazon is the most significant location on the planet.  It is challenging to declare a specific location to be the most significant location on the planet because the response will vary depending on personal viewpoints and experiences. The most significant location will differ for different people; for some, it may be their house or place of worship; for others, it might be the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Egypt, etc.
The most significant location on earth may ultimately vary depending on the desires and experiences of each person.

Well, the main difference is that if the Amazon rain forest disappeared, it would be a very serious environmental disaster which could endanger countless species in the South American continent and it would negatively impact the chances of the Humanity to survive in the long term. On the order hand, if the Pyramids or the Great Wall disappeared, it would be a negative impact on the history and culture of humanity but we could continue to exist in the long term without them.

Realistically, It would be more likely others to consider the Mecca or Jerusalem the most important places on the planet, rather some historical monuments.

[coolcoinz]

I think the Amazon was chosen because of a very high number of species living in that area. It's called one of the most biodiverse place on Earth, so losing that area would make enormous impact on our ecosystem.
Can we really call one place the most important and another not important? I don't think so, because the coral reef is also diverse and produces a lot of oxygen, in fact the most oxygen is produced under water. I think that what areas are important is up for discussion. We probably wouldn't exist if any of them got nuked.

[yhiaali3]

Yes, I also love documentaries, I watch a lot of them in my spare time.

I think the reason they say that the Amazon is the best place on Earth is because nature there is still somewhat virgin. There are some places in the Amazon that have not been trodden by humans yet.

In the Amazon Basin, for example, the Yaulai Bechi tribe lives in the commons era, meaning that they are still living primitively and have not yet known human civilization.

I'm not a fan of science and I have to at least insure myself in advance of some possible problems of life directly (human instinct), so I won't mention a place like a forest or historical relief buildings.
The most important place on earth is the place where I get a job or where I usually earn money, even if it's a virtual place I don't care.
