Thank you for watching! Please note the following:
• There is a typo in the legend: it should say desert and “xeric” shrubland, not “xenic.”
• Projections of deforestation up to 2100 were based on Bright and Suzana's 2022 paper (link in description). Specifically, it follows their Business As Usual (BAU) model, assuming no significant changes in the rates of deforestation after the early 2020s. This is in contrast to their Sustainable Deforestation (SD) and Accelerated Deforestation (AD) models, which assume that degradation rates will slow down and speed up respectively.
• For projected years, the percentage of remaining forest cover from 1970 was calculated based on Bright and Suzana (2022)'s prediction of forest cover loss in South America as a whole, not just the Amazon.
• Because of lack of data on the state of South American forests other than the Amazon prior to 1984 (the first year for which Google Earth provides satellite imagery), this video projects 1984 forest cover back up to 1970 for those areas.
There was a huge news story going around many years ago about how wildfires were eating away at the amazon. In reality, those were controlled burns done by farmers after having harvested their crops. A large part of the deforestation is, unfortunately, the result of logging companies being given way too much leeway in the amount of trees they can cut down.
On the contrary.
Logging is way less of a menace today because the product they extract is more controlled.
The burnings (those that were in the jungle) were mainly done to free space for occupation, mostly pastures that can eventually be legalized and sold to more profitable and labeled agro industries
The jungle also catches fires naturally now, we have been hit by heat wave after heat wave in the dry season, there is a heat happening right now btw
Yes... "controlled"
There is missing deforestation spots in Colombia and Peru.
In Colombia, mainly around the Putumayo state, and in Peru, near the Iquitos area.
Amazon is one of the most important areas in the world idk why they don't care about it it's a part of our nature and humanity
They only care for the potential that can fill their insatiable greed, or taming and making possible the hospitable development of wild regions
Brazilian loggers are greedy, the government won't or can't restrain them, Bolsonaro was a complete toxic POS who enabled them.
In brazil, one of the main economic ideas is still Developmentalism, like from de 1800s, the industrial revolution and all that. So for a lot of people here, forests are just huge unused lands that have no purpose, so it's better to deforest and make farms and cattle pastures out of it, so this land can be useful and make money, and increase the economy and so on.
It does not help that agriculture is the flagship of the Brazilian economy, so they hold a lot economic, cultural and political power in Brazil.
They're quite dumb too, they fail to realize that destroying the forest will haevily affect the climate in Brazil and in South America, which will be harmful to agriculture itself, so they're diggin their own grave.
@@ha22el5 it's really disappointing
cutting down trees on the amazon rainforest isnt as devastating as the amount of carbon the us, china and maybe europe emits every year, its like environmentalism wants to save a single molecule of oxygen on the atmosphere.
The Amazon rainforest has the right to defend itself
Humans: Deforestation is bad, but we’re doing it anyway!
Capitalists: But the imaginary numbers are making us do it!
Achei legal que também mostra o desmatamento do centro e litoral do Brasil, muito interessante seu vídeo, porem eu acredito que até 2100 ira ser desmatado muito mais do que apenas o que foi mostrado, pois os estados do Acre, Roraima e Amapá tem previsão de grandes expansões urbanas até o final do século.
Even if deforestation continues until 2100 as can be seen here, the Amazon would still be larger than any European country
Here in Venezuela, we already lost all our Mountain Ecosystem.
You should make a extended version to 2500 of the Amazon & Sahara
He already made
Thanks for this type video. Forests our planets lungs.
BTW, in a list of countries by per capita CO2 emissions, Brazil doesn't make the top 150, despite being the world's 8th largest economy 🤷♂
Fr
We could emit 0 per Capita and still fuck up our country by turning into a steppe just to feed Chinese cattle with soy rations
Los países que más contaminan son los países de Europa, EEUU y China. Ellos son los que más contaminan y después nos quieren decir a nosostros que tenemos que hacer 😂

Now start it from 1500 ad
In 1500AD Amazon was more dense since there were no permanent settlements made by humans and only tribals over there. But after the Portuguese came there, they killed most of the natives, used their forests for themselves, and made borders between the Rainforest.
Deforestating in Brazil: 😊
Deforestating in India:☠️☠️☠️☠️
There is a theory saying that the original Amazon Rainforest was created by the humans who lived around the rivers of the area, something like the modern agroforestry system.
If the ancient indigenous peoples were able to create this immense forest, it means we can recreate it, too, wiht the modern technology we have.
If so, then these people were definitely favored by natural and climatic factors. It would be like a domino effect. Now it's the other way around - climate change and the insanely increasing demands of civilization for energy and resources strongly interfere with restoration and protective initiatives, which require a lot of work, time, territory and tangible (especially for the poor) concessions from private owners.
Greetings from Siberia, our forests are also seriously affected by fires and uncontrolled logging - according to some estimates, 7% of the country's forests have been lost in 20 years! In the region where I live, the half of May was very dry and hot and an emergency regime was declared, our firefighters had to fight fires threatening settlements, there was also a large fire on the island of Olkhon on Lake Baikal. Messages about the ban on hunting and fishing and bonfires were heard from loudspeakers every day in the city.
Es triste que uno de las regiones más importantes del mundo termine asi solo por la codicia humana
와.. 진짜 엄청나게 많이 베었긴 했네요.. 생산이 소비를 따라가지 못한다는게 이런 것이겠죠?

South American Amazon in Rainforest.
Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Bolivia, Brazil
why would a place like brazil, colombia have a desert?
I live in the Northeast of Brazil and here is pretty much a savannah, we just miss the big animals like elephants and giraffes 😅
it's not really a dessert. it's a Semi-arid Bioma that has a vast diversity of xerophytic plants and long periods of drought and short periods of floods in near-river regions. But yes, it is in risk of becoming a desert due to deforestation and the transposing of rivers, incited by cattle raising and agronomic interests.
south america isn't just jungle my dude
Northern Colombia is one of the driest places in the world, where the fossils of the titanoboa were found
The interior of the Northeast of Brazil, which is the driest area in the country, averages 700 mm of rain per year. A reasonable number for agriculture and urban life is around 1000 mm. In Los Angeles, they have 360 mm
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Circassia, Dagestan, Chechnya and Inghusetia
What?
지구 뿌셔~
Brazil should stop it, others are doing reasonable cutting but Brazil is overdoing it
As some other comments have pointed out, this video has left out significant portions of deforestation done by other countries. Also, the video itself makes it clear that deforestation has been drastically slowing down for the past couple decades, and there is hope for Brazil to soon reach net-zero deforestation in the Amazon with the advancement of better technologies for the agricultural industries and a better social conscience regarding the climate, as well as better enforced laws.
What needs to happen is for Europeans who barely have any forests left at all to stop bashing Brazil and stop subsidizing their farmers in order to start regrowing their own forests, as well as for the US to wake up and actually do anything at all about the climate.
amazon deforestation isnt as bad as what you think, the economy depends on chopping trees aswell so stopping our dependence on the amazon would just delay brasils development process.
@@joacoolcipher deforestation is quite bad and unnecessary for development as well. It also actively harms development, as containing fires gets more and more difficult.
But at least most of the forest is still there and the damage done has been somewhat contained.
La deforestación es necesaria para nuestro desarrollo
Amazon rainforests effect all of the world, brazil should be sanctioned
As a Brazilian, I can tell you that capitalism has failed in Brazil and that there is no economic model that is harmonious with nature within capitalism, NGOs like Greenpeace fill their mouths to say that nationalist campaigns like "O Petróleo é Nosso" should remain in the past but they ignore which are the countries with high productive complexity that most pollute the planet (Europe, USA, China, Russia) ecology without class struggle is gardening. It is very easy for an American to say that socialism has failed while living in a society with the highest consumption standards on the planet and that suffocates the Cuban people with a criminal embargo, here in Brazil I can tell you that capitalism has failed, fails and will fail; The big landowners here are from the same families that conquered Indigenous lands at the behest of the Portuguese crown, they are descendants of slave owners, they did not urbanize the country in a decent way and they use their land to plant commodities while our people go hungry, they equipped the state so that the majority of judges are white in a country where half the population is Black and Mixed race while the majority of the people are thrown into favelas, hills and swamps, as long as this state remains the same, as long as the ruralist bench has influence in congress, As long as the landowning bourgeoisie continues to impose its dictatorship on us, there will be war in the favelas, fire in the Amazon and hunger, because this is the elite's project for the country that lives from farm to table.
Brazilian here.
The best thing anyone in the first world can do to help stop deforestation, besides doing activism, is to stop eating meat.
These lands are used either to raise cattle or to plant soy, wich is almost entirely used to feed cattle in other countries.
If you won't stop eating meat, at least reduce by half the amount of times you eat it. Otherwise, you can't really complain about deforestation, considering you fund it.
