New research has found 38 percent of the remaining Amazon has been degraded by human actions, including forest fires, logging, and extreme drought.

Under Bolsonaro's presidency, an estimated 16,000 square miles of the Amazon rainforest have been lost. Can Lula end the deforestation as he promises?

The mining involves collecting minerals from the ocean floor for use in battery manufacture, and it can affect deep-sea communities.

Research has found the death rates of tropical trees have doubled in the last 35 years, as global warming increases the drying power of the atmosphere.

Both fish - commonly referred to as South American darters - could disappear if the Brazilian government does not take immediate action, say scientists.

It had been more than a decade since Brazil recorded over 10,000 square kilometers (3,861.022 square miles) of deforestation in the Amazon in a year.

In celebration of Brembo's 60th anniversary is planting a forest in Kenya to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere and support local farming communities.

We deserve a future where forests are abundant, the global climate is stable and healthy communities thrive.

Brazil initially planned to eliminate the practice by 2030, but the country now plans to meet the objective by 2027 or 2028, according to the vice president.

"It's because of changes of the global local climate, especially. We have less humidity and less rainfall," said Petteri Taalas, secretary-general of the WMO.

Satellite data recorded 6,803 fires in the Amazon in July, a 28 percent increase from the number of fires this time last year.

"Reducing poverty does not have to create unavoidable environmental costs," said researcher Paul Ferraro.

Earth loses 13 billion trees per year but regains less than half.

"Since 2010, mile upon mile of rainforest has been replaced with a wide range of commercial developments, including cattle ranching, logging and the palm oil industry."

"The precious Amazon is teetering on the edge of functional destruction and, with it, so are we," the editors of a leading scientific journal wrote.

The latest moves could potentially open up more than half of Alaska's Tongass National Forest to logging, mining and energy projects.

There are certain steps you can take to help reduce your impact on the Amazon.

"It's enough to eat a little less," said President Jair Bolsonaro, addressing a reporter's question about environmental pollution.

Deforestation has increased to the point where more than three football fields of tree cover are being lost every minute.

The equivalent of 40 football fields of trees disappeared every minute last year.

"Deforestation has caused the orangutan population to plummet; habitats are destroyed and orangutans are left to starve and die."

Scientists hope their work highlights the disproportionately dominant role humans play on Earth.

Deforestation is only half the story.

"I still have her photo in my wallet."

Conservation, restoration and better land management will help a lot more than scientists previously understood.

Time is running out, these experts say.

This ingredient is in nearly half of packaged products sold in grocery stores.
