“The precious Amazon is teetering on the edge of functional destruction and, with it, so are we.
Carlos Nobre
Brazilian scientist and meteorologist
Deforestation has been accelerating in Brazil over the last 4 decades.
Around 15-17% of the original forest cover has been lost. If deforestation exceeds 20–25%, a tipping point will be reached, where the rainforest’s water cycle could collapse, releasing 150–200 billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, decimating biodiversity, and disrupting global weather systems.
At the current rates of destruction…
We are failing the Amazon rainforest and its people by not prioritising the economic value of a standing tree over one cut down.
The Race to Belém is a race to finance the protection of Brazilian forests at a scale and speed never seen before. Our goal is to secure the $billions required to make an impact before it is too late.
The cumulative loss to GDP if the Amazon rainforest passes its Tipping Point.
Global GDP that is moderately or highly dependent on the ecosystem services that nature provides (over half).
Proportion of major forest, land and agriculture companies that could miss their net zero commitments due to a lack of action on deforestation.
If the Amazon Tipping Point is reached it will create supply chain shocks globally, and put huge pressure on commodities that rely on stable weather patterns.
Damage to the long term future of the entire region will include losses in hydroelectric power, agribusiness, and health security.
