Humans Have Degraded More Than A Third Of The Amazon Rainforest, Researchers Say

Posted by in category: futurism

More than one-third of the Amazon rainforest has been degraded by humans, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science.

Degradation is different from deforestation, the researchers note, as it represents long-term changes in forest conditions that damages its ecosystem and results in carbon emissions greater to those from deforestation.


New estimates are larger than what scientists previously believed.
