Large parts of Amazon may never recover, major study says | Amazon rainforest | The Guardian

Environmental destruction in parts of the Amazon is so complete that swathes of the rainforest have reached tipping point and might never be able to recover, a major study carried out by scientists and Indigenous organisations has found.

“The tipping point is not a future scenario but rather a stage already present in some areas of the region,” the report concludes. “Brazil and Bolivia concentrate 90% of all combined deforestation and degradation. As a result, savannization is already taking place in both countries.”

Scientists from the Amazonian Network of Georeferenced Socio-environmental Information (RAISG) worked with with the Coordinator of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (Coica) to produce the study, Amazonia Against the Clock, one of the biggest so far, covering all nine of the nations that contain parts of the Amazon.

vào mùa đại dịch này

ngoài thực phẩm là nhu cầu chính yếu

họ còn cần hơi thở sạch

để sinh tồn

không gì ấn tượng cho bằng

bên cạnh hồng ân của thiên chúa, cũng nên cho họ

nếm thử

mật đắng của đời sống, cái mà gọi là
