Soil. Deforestation and degradation of the Amazon
They are shaping up to be the biggest climate change threats on Earth, as there is no transition plan in place.
The deforestation of the Amazon is pushing the Amazonian ecosystem to a point of transformation of no return in which the forest would lose its ability to function.
There is no such thing as “net-zero-deforestation”, or a “logging moratorium” or “fight against deforestation”. As if there is for greenhouse gas emissions. If no action is taken, the massive removal of trees will continue unchecked. Due to the size of the jungle, it is a growing threat to life on Earth.
