They warn about the serious situation in Amazon as a result of deforestation
- The Amazon is losing resilience, severely damaged by deforestation and degradation. In the current situation, much of what has been called the planet's green lung emits more carbon into the air than the one that is able to absorb. An investigation calls for immediate action.
Argazkia: Forum Natura
A study by the Amazon Network RAISG warns that the role of the world's largest tropical forest is changing and taking a risky path. The high level of deforestation and degradation (mostly concentrated in Brazil and Bolivia) is reducing its forest recovery capacity and is depleting water reserves. Every day 137 species die in the Amazon from this serious situation.
Oil, hydropower plants, mines and the agricultural and livestock model pose a threat to the Amazon.
It is good news that, according to the report, we are still in a position to turn the situation upside down if action is taken as soon as possible, but to this end governments must realise that the development of forests is "strategic for economic development".
Among the measures requested are, on the one hand, the non-granting of licenses for more extractivist actions in the Amazon and, on the other hand, the channeling of resources to promote conservation and recovery, especially of indigenous peoples, who consider the reports as key allies in these tasks, “the role of indigenous territories is key to adapting the climate to the emergency”.
