Liberal Amazon #26 - Ecological balance threatened
Description
Forest suffers from constant high temperatures, prolonged dry season and rampant fires. Situation worsens in the south of the Amazon region and threatens the entire ecological balance. In forest and cities it is increasingly difficult to breathe.
Earlier this month, an article in the scientific publication Nature confirmed what Brazilian researchers have already been warning: the humidity of the Amazon rainforest is decreasing while there is an increase in the dryness of the air in the region. The study is signed by researchers from the University of Exeter, in the United Kingdom, and it has identified that these changes are related to temperature shifts, which are progressively higher due to the advance and persistence of fires in the biome.
