Tipping point – See Animals Wild

Amazon Rainforest tipping point approaching?

Rainforests are incredible places, with a huge amount of wildlife and plants all living closely together and fighting for survival.

Now the problem in many parts of the world, rainforests are being cut down for space to be given over to all sorts of other land uses. I have no problem with some of the rainforests being cut down for other land uses. Unfortunately though in the Amazon, there is a significant issue.

If a tipping point is reached, cut down rainforest is not likely to be useful for growing crops, it is likely to transform into a dry savannah, incapable of supporting crops, it may turn into full desert.

Alongside our members area, we have a second area for you to get involved. This second one is aimed at all readers of the site (Ambassador supporters). If you are like me, you are worried about the state of the natural world, and love seeing wildlife but might not have time to do as much as you would like - but would like to do your bit to save as much of the natural world as you can. We can't visit every wilderness on the planet, yet it is a far smaller task for all the readers of this site - particularly as it grows. Alternatively, if you are simply a regular reader, and we bring you value, help us survive long-term. There is a small fee for being an Ambassador supporter, to help the running of the site, and towards our goals - along with many perks including a members area.
