Amazon Forests Are Drying, According to Researchers

As we all know, what is happening on our planet climate changes effects is increasing day by day. These changes threaten the nature of the Earth and pose deadly dangers to many regions and living things. Experts underline that it is necessary to constantly take measures in this regard.

Described as the lungs of the Earth Amazon rainforest It is one of the regions affected by this situation. Global warming and deforestation seriously threaten life and nature in the region. The new statements made by scientists also indicate the state of forests. It’s much worse than expected reveals.

“Amazon is on the verge of collapse”

A research team consisting of a group of scientists made statements to News Scientist about the state of the rainforest. team, woods on the verge of collapse that the situation is getting worse, and that the Amazon will be in ‘extremely dry grasslands’ over the next five years.to dry savannas‘ He said it could change.

Luciana Gatti, a senior climate change researcher on the team at Brazil’s National Institute for Space Studies, said that rainforests could unleash massive catastrophes in the next five years:Amazon’s situation is so urgent, I can say that we are on the verge of collapse. If we don’t act now, things will get much worse. it’s a nightmare.”

In his statements, Gatti drew attention to a report published last month on Amazon. According to the statements, the report shows that the rainforests are growing rapidly. global warming and in Brazil without deforestation was found to be significantly damaged. It was also emphasized in the report that the Brazilian state could not prevent illegal deforestation, and even allowed it. Another study published in the past months, Amazon’s October deforestation record it turned out to be broken.

Another of the researchers, in his statements, stated that the warming and 20 to 25 percent He stated that deforestation that may occur among As a result, it was stated that forests could turn into ‘dry savannas’.

“Immediate action must be taken”

So what should be done about it? According to Mercedes Bustamante of the University of Brasilia, it is still possible to take steps to prevent these dire consequences. According to Bustamante, authorities need to take immediate action and stop deforestation in Brazil. After that, a bigafforestation‘ campaign should be launched and everyone should participate in this campaign.

But can these measures be adjusted to meet the next five years? We can say that this does not seem very realistic for now. Still, experts think that the decisions taken by the country’s authorities at the UN Climate Summit (COP26) held last month may play a role in slowing down forestation, at least to some extent.
