Deforestation | The Amazon is the equivalent of Colombia in the last 40 years

(Rio de Janeiro) The Amazon, which plays a crucial role in climate recovery while a few decades ago it underwent a surface presque in Britain and Colombia, will be a study in the AFP in the European Union.

The deforestation as a loss of 12.5% ​​of the plant cover of the planet’s largest tropical forest from 1985 to 2023, is provided by satellites analyzed by the Amazonian Socio-Ecological and Geographic Information Survey (RAISG), a collective of researchers and NGOs.

Plus the 88 million hectares in the area of ​​Brésil, in Bolivia, in Pérou, in Equateur, in Colombia, in Venezuela, in Guyana, in Suriname and in French Guyana, because the Amazon is a capital interest for the climate and a great asset for absorbing large amounts of carbon.

In the great number of cases, deforestation is the profit of the expansion of mini-activities or agriculture, even on the etude.

The RAISG specialists are an “accelerated transformation” in the Amazon region, identifying an “alarming increase” in the use of a higher use of the forest for an installation of mines (+1063%), of cultures (+598%) or the altitude (+297%).

“A large number of ecosystems are being disrupted by massive amounts of food, soy and monocultures, or transformations into craters for the extraction of ears,” alert.

As the specialist at the moment of the natural cover in the Amazon region is in charge of “extremes extremes that affect us today”, notably the heavy security and the burning vegetation that is devastating plusieurs South Americans.

Certain prosperous countries of the Amazon are at a higher level than in recent decades, making the mode of life of 47 million people who live on their rivers.

Less effort in the country of Brésil or Colombia to reduce deforestation in the Amazon region, 3.8 million hectares of tropical forest on a déboisé in the region of a dernier, you could live in two decades, so an area presque also extensive in Switzerland.

The climatic events “the plus and plus extremes and frequencies” are favored by deforestation “continuously hitting a fragile Amazon region, while having the capacity of the government that will play its role in regulating the climate of the planet”, they resume the position.
