Brazil's Independence Day 2015
Orchids! Palm trees! Passion flowers! There’s no landscape in the world
quite as colorful as Brazil’s, whose independence we celebrate today.
In
1822, from the banks of the grassy Ipiranga Brook in São Paulo, Dom
Pedro I declared Brazil a free nation. Centuries later, visitors to the
Terra do Brasil come to enjoy its awesome mix of natural offerings,
captured in this doodle by Kevin Laughlin.
Its main rainforest “is home
to as many as 80,000 plant species,” according to the World Wide Fund for Nature.
Brazil’s fauna is also impressive, with hundreds of unique mammals
roaming its land, and thousands of fish species swimming through its
waters.
Happy independence day to beautiful, bountiful Brazil!
