British media: The report states that there have been signs of "grasslandization" in Brazil and Bolivia.

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] A study conducted by scientists and Aboriginal organizations in South America found that the environmental damage of the Amazon area is quite serious. The survival of large tropical rain forests has reached the critical point and it is likely that it will never be recovered.

Ama Sun Yulin Data Map

According to the British "Guardian" reported on the 5th, the latest research report shows that "the critical point of Yamam Sun Yulin is not in the future, but the facts that have happened in some local areas." In Brazil and Bolivia, tropical rain forests in the two countries have appeared 'signs of "grassland". This report was completed by Amazon's economic and social geographic information network and Amazon Basin. It covers 9 related countries and regions. It is one of the largest studies of Ama Sun Yulin. Studies have found that only Surinan and French Guyana are slightly better. At least half of the virgin forests are well preserved.

The Amazon Aboriginal Organization called for a global agreement to permanently protect the 80%of the Ama Sun Yulin area by 2025. However, this goal is facing a huge challenge, because there are only 74%left in the virgin forest, and it is not only necessary to protect the remaining forests, but also requires returning farmland to the forest as soon as possible to return to 80%. "This goal is difficult, but it is feasible to participate in the local Aboriginal community and people living in the forest together. In addition to providing protection, this requires these knowledge of the local Aboriginal community and people living in the forest. People in the forest participated in land management more. "

Mining is one of the biggest threats to the virgin forest. Most of the miners and areas where aboriginal people live in, most of the mining behaviors are secretly carried out in secret and illegal. Scientists call on the government to refuse to issue and revoke mining licenses. Petroleum mining is another major threat, which accounts for 9.4%of the Amazon Basin. More than half of the Ama -Sun Yulin in Ecuador is an oil -containing area. Peru, Bolivia and other countries also have large forests to be worrying because of the oil -containing area. In addition, the damage caused by local agriculture is more serious, and 84%of forest cutting is due to agricultural production. This research report provides 13 solutions, including completely stopping mining, oil collection and new large dams, restricting logging activities, restoring forest land, strengthening accountability mechanisms, and improving the participation of indigenous residents.
