'The tipping point is not a future scenario but rather a stage already present in some areas of the region,' warns a new study about the destruction of the Amazon rainforest.
The study—a project of the Amazonian Network of Georeferenced Socio-environmental Information and Coordinator of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin —covers all nine countries home to parts of the Amazon: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela., looked at forest coverage data from 1985 to 2020—examining density, carbon dioxide storage, and rain patterns.
"The tipping point is not a future scenario but rather a stage already present in some areas of the region," the study states,."Brazil and Bolivia concentrate 90% of all combined deforestation and degradation. As a result, savannization is already taking place in both countries." In response to the crisis in the rainforest—driven by agribusiness, dams, logging, mining, oil extraction, and other destructive activities—Indigenous groups, led by COICA, have launched the initiative"Amazonia for Life: Protect 80% by 2025.
