The Amazon can be saved — with concerted action inside and outside Brazil

The Amazon rainforest can be saved from the impacts of global warming, but only through a concerted worldwide effort to halt deforestation, according to new evidence published in Nature on June 10, 2026. The study indicates that while the Amazon is resilient, its capacity to withstand climate change is directly tied to the cessation of forest clearing. This research highlights that the rainforest's ability to continue providing vital ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration and climate regulation, is contingent upon immediate and sustained action to reduce deforestation rates.
