Amazon rainforest °C would kill some 75% of the Amazon. Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest region have negative impact on local climate.It was one of the main reason that cause the severe Drought of 2014-2015 in Brazil This is because the moisture from the forests is important to the rainfall in Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina. Half of the rainfall in the Amazon area is produced by the forests. The use of remotely sensed data is dramatically improving conservationists' knowledge of the Amazon basin. Given the objectivity and lowered costs of satellite-based land cover analysis, it appears likely that remote sensing technology will be
Amazon rainforest has declined significantly in the Brazilian Amazon between 2004 and 2014, there has been an increase to the present day. Environmentalists are concerned about loss of biodiversity that will result from destruction of the forest, and also about the release of the carbon contained within the vegetation, which could accelerate global warming. Amazonian evergreen forests account for about 10% of the world's terrestrial primary productivity and 10% of the carbon stores in ecosystems – of the order of 1.1 × 10 metric tonnes of carbon. Amazonian forests are estimated to have accumulated 0.62 ± 0.37 tons of carbon per hectare
