🌿 Amazon Rainforest Dieback – The Dying Lungs of the Planet
The Amazon is one of Earth’s greatest climate stabilisers — a vast green engine that generates its own rainfall and stores centuries of carbon.
But deforestation, drought, and heat are pushing it toward collapse.
As trees die and rainfall patterns break down, parts of the Amazon are already shifting toward dry savannah — releasing carbon and disrupting weather across the Americas.
🌡️ Scientists warn that large-scale dieback could occur between 2 °C and 4 °C of global warming.
🔥 Around 17% of the forest has already been lost; 20–25% may trigger a tipping point.
🧩 Once the forest dries beyond a critical level, it can’t regenerate — it locks into a new, hotter, drier state.
Read the full article to explore why the Amazon is central to Earth’s climate stability and what can still be done:
Let’s discuss 👇
Do you think international pressure or local leadership will make the biggest difference in saving the Amazon?
And what lessons could other regions learn from this race to protect the world’s largest rainforest?
