We are going to create a survey according to the 5W+1H questions.

These are the 5W+1H question that we will try to use to collect data:

What: What do you think can be the cause of "Climate Change"?

Where: Where do you think the problem lies?

When: When do you think climate change is going to happen?

Who: Who is deforestation affecting? Humans, Animals, Plants?

Why: Why is this deforestation happening? Why do you feel the effects of deforestation?

How: How would you think is the best solution countering this problem? How would you think is the best solution for YOU to do right now?

# data[].attributes.body
The Problem:

Around the world, deforestation and logging happens. This can cause many problems to the environment and the ecosystem of the affected surrounding. In the Amazon rainforest, more than 10.000 species of plants and animals are risk of extinction due to this. And in Brazil, they have the most tropical primary forest cut down, amounting up to 43% of the global total.

The Solution:

Create a game about nature to raise awareness about deforestation and logging that is done around the world, causing harm to both the environment and the animals that live in them.

SAO PAULO/BOGOTA, July 14 (Reuters) - More than 10,000 species of plants and animals are at high risk of extinction due to the destruction of the Amazon rainforest - 35% of which has already been deforested or degraded, according to the draft of a landmark scientific report published on Wednesday.

Produced by the Science Panel for the Amazon (SPA), the 33-chapter report brings together research on the world's largest rainforest from 200 scientists from across the globe. It is the most detailed assessment of the state of the forest to date and both makes clear the vital role the Amazon plays in global climate and the profound risks it is facing.

Cutting deforestation and forest degradation to zero in less than a decade "is critical," the report said, also calling for massive restoration of already destroyed areas.

The rainforest is a vital bulwark against climate change both for the carbon it absorbs and what it stores.

According to the report, the soil and vegetation of the Amazon hold about 200 billion tonnes of carbon, more than five times the whole world's annual CO2 emissions.

Furthermore the continued destruction caused by human interference in the Amazon puts more than 8,000 endemic plants and 2,300 animals at high risk of extinction, the report added.

Science shows humans face potentially irreversible and catastrophic risks due to multiple crises, including climate change and biodiversity decline, said University of Brasilia professor Mercedes Bustamante during a virtual panel discussion.

"There is a narrow window of opportunity to change this trajectory," Bustamante said. "The fate of Amazon is central to the solution to the global crises."

In Brazil, deforestation has surged since right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019, reaching a 12-year high last year and drawing international outcry from foreign governments and the public.

Bolsonaro has called for mining and agriculture in protected areas of the Amazon and has weakened environmental enforcement agencies, which environmentalists and scientists say has directly resulted in the rising destruction.

Neighboring Colombia a week ago reported that deforestation rose 8% in 2020 versus the previous year to 171,685 hectares (424,000 acres), with nearly 64% of the destruction taking place in the country's Amazon region. read more

During the panel, former President of Colombia Juan Manuel Santos lamented a lack of political will from among the Amazon countries to tackle issues facing the rainforest.

"Unfortunately right now in Latin America and especially in these eight countries ... you don't see that political leadership, you don't see any of those presidents taking the baton," he said, referring to the countries that border the rainforest.

Of its original size, 18% of the Amazon basin has already been deforested, according to the report - mostly for agriculture and illegal timber. Another 17% has been degraded.

While restoration efforts will play an important role in safeguarding the Amazon, the difficulty of restoring forests means the main goal should be protecting existing vegetation and water bodies.

"Restoration actions can be costly and complex to implement, so it's actually better to avoid deforestation and degradation so that we don't need to take restorative actions," said Marielos Pena-Claros, a professor at Wageningen University in the Netherlands.

The continuing destruction may threaten the very ability of the rainforest to function as a carbon sink, with potentially devastating results for the global climate change.

A separate study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday showed that some parts of the Amazon are emitting more carbon than they absorb, based on measurements of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide taken from above the rainforest between 2010 and 2018.

Lead author Luciana Gatti, a scientist at Brazil's Inpe space research agency, suggests the increased carbon emissions in southeastern Amazonia - where deforestation is fierce - is not only the result of fires and direct destruction, but also due to rising tree mortality as severe drought and higher temperatures become more common.

Over 10,000 species risk extinction in Amazon, says landmark report

The Amazon rainforest is on course to reach a crucial tipping point as soon as 2050, with devastating consequences for the region and the world's ability to tackle climate change, according to a study published Wednesday.

The Amazon has proven resilient to natural changes in the climate for 65 million years, but deforestation andthe human-caused climate crisis have brought new levels of stress and could cause a large-scale collapse of the forest system within the next three decades, the study said.

The researchers predict that 10% to 47% of theAmazon will be exposed to stresses that could push the ecosystem to its tipping point, a critical threshold that once crossed will lead to a downward spiral of impacts.

The study, led by researchers at the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil and published in the journal Nature, takes a holistic approach to estimating how soon the Amazon could reach that threshold.

The study's authors looked at the impact of warming temperatures, extreme droughts, deforestation and fires to draw their conclusions.

"We already knew about all these factors at play, but once we connected the pieces of this complex puzzle, the image was alarming," Bernardo Flores, lead author of the study, told CNN. "Our findings revealed how the Amazon forest system could enter a phase of self-reinforced collapse sooner than previously thought."

Previous studies had not predicted a collapse of this scale could happen in the 21st century.

A collapse of the Amazon, the world's vastest tropical rainforest, would weaken its ability to absorb planet-warming carbon pollution from the atmosphere, which would exacerbate global warming. Once known as the lungs of the planet, the Amazon has already become a net emitter of carbon emissions, meaning it releases more carbon into the atmosphere now than it absorbs. Forest fires and logging are the main reasons for that change.

But the forest is still a huge, crucial carbon sink. It holds the equivalent of 15 to 20 years of the entire world's global carbon stores.

A loss of 'flying rivers'

The study also shows how a deteriorating Amazon could impact forests in other parts of South America.

The Amazon is crucial for water supply across the region, the study said, contributing as much as half of its rainfall through what the authors call "flying rivers" - rain that originates over the Amazon and spreads to other parts of the region. That means other forests and ecosystems that rely on rain are able to thrive. Those places include the Pantanal wetlands - the world's largest tropical wetlands that cross Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay - and the La Plata River basin, a biodiverse and crucial water system that drains one-fifth of South American land.

The Amazon provides moisture beyond the region, too.

"The Amazon forest is a major pump of moisture into the atmosphere, contributing to circulation processes that transfer moisture across the globe," Flores said. "When the forest is reduced, this weakens this process, causing the global climate to find a new equilibrium."

The authors of the study noted that water stress was a common factor in the disturbances to the Amazon. Water stress occurs when there is not enough water to meet human or ecological needs.

Global warming is intensifying the effects of water stress by causing the Amazonian climate to become drier and warmer. This increases water stress on trees, particularly those with low drought resistance in northwest parts of the forest, which "could suffer massive mortality if suddenly exposed to severe water stress," according to the study.

Reaching its tipping point could also make parts of the Amazon uninhabitable due to unbearable heat and a lack of resources for indigenous peoples and local communities, the study shows.

"A war of attrition on the Amazon rainforest is being waged through human-caused climate change and deforestation, which is sending this irreplaceable jewel of the planet to the brink," said Richard Allan, a professor in Climate Science at the University of Reading, who was not involved in the study. "These critical effects ... are compounded by continued destruction of forest for agriculture, settlement, and industry."

The study recommends ending deforestation, promoting forest restoration, and expanding protected areas and Indigenous territories. Flores also stressed the need for global cooperation to cut greenhouse gas emissions and emphasized the importance of Amazonian countries cooperating to promote forest restoration.
