The Amazon rainforest holds more than 10% of Earth's land-based wildlife, stores an amount of carbon equivalent to 15 to 20 years of global emissions from human activity, and has a cooling effect that helps stabilise the climate.
As much as 38% of the remaining Amazon forest has been degraded by logging, fires, and drought. By 2050, 10% to 47% of the area will be exposed to threats that may trigger a shift from natural forest to savannah and degraded forests.
