The Amazon rainforest is facing a \u201ctipping point crisis\u201d as deforestation, degradation and the lack of protection for indigenous people look set to threaten one of the largest ecosystems on Earth, according to a new report warning that action must start now to protect it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Produced by scientists with the\u00a0Amazonian Network of Georeferenced Socio-environmental Information<\/a>\u00a0(RAISG), in collaboration with the Coordination of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA), a\u00a0landmark new study<\/a>\u00a0has revealed that deforestation and degradation have wrecked 26% of the Amazonia region.<\/p>\n

With deforestation levels in the region reaching record levels, the new research calls on policymakers to support and implement\u00a0the \u201c80\u00d725\u201d goal<\/a>\u00a0to protect 80% of the Amazon by 2025.<\/p>\n

The goal was first introduced in 2021 at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Congress, in Marseille. It received widespread support, including the backing of 32 countries and 541 non-governmental organisations.<\/p>\n

One of the key aspects of the 80\u00d725 goal is to expand indigenous rights in order to help mitigate the climate crisis and biodiversity collapse.<\/p>\n

The new research warns that discussions at COP26 and the biodiversity COP15 hybrid event and subsequent frameworks that have been established have \u201csystematically omitted the role of indigenous peoples\u201d and how they can inform environmental policy.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the research warns that, between 2015 and 2019, 232 indigenous community leaders were killed in the region due to disputes over land and natural resources and that this is failing to be reflected in global frameworks.<\/p>\n

Alarming rates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brazil\u2019s national space research institute has tracked levels of deforestation broadly consistent with last summer, when levels hit a 15-year high. Brazil\u2019s national space research institute, INPE, published new figures from its forest clearing alert system, covering the period between 1 August 2021 and 31 July 2022.<\/p>\n

The data revealed that 8,590 square kilometres of deforestation were detected in this 12-month period. This was a 2.3% decrease from the previous year, but this is little cause for celebration because the previous year saw the highest levels of deforestation since 2006. Moreover, the decrease may be smaller than first anticipated \u2013 INPE will publish more detailed findings this autumn.<\/p>\n

Additionally, INPE recorded a year-on-year increase in the amount of forest affected by degradation and selected cutting, by 15.6%. The primary causes of deforestation and degradation include logging, mining and industrial agriculture, for commodities such as soy.<\/p>\n

At COP26 in Glasgow last November,<\/a>\u00a0the leaders of more than 100 nations committed to end deforestation and land degradation by 2030 and to enter reforestation by this point if possible. Brazil was not among the initial tranche of signatories but did sign up before the two-week conference ended. Signatories collectively represent more than 85% of global forest cover.<\/p>\n
