What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A report found that 15% of the Amazon basin’s original primary forest has been lost, with losses concentrated along critical moisture routes in Peru and Bolivia. Between 2022 and 2025, an additional 13.04 million hectares of primary forest were lost across the Amazon biome’s nine countries, including record losses due to fire in 2024 following a strong El Niño season. The analysis shows that pathways carrying moisture during dry and transition seasons have lost nearly three times more forest than wet-season pathways.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The loss of forest along seasonal flying rivers, which sustain forests in southwestern Amazon, Peru, and Bolivia, brings the Amazon closer to a tipping point. This decline in forest cover and moisture pathways could affect regional climate stability and water availability in the area.
