According to a recent report, the Amazon has lost 97 million hectares of primary forest by 2025. Most forest loss is attributed to human activity, particularly land clearing and fires. The disruptions to moisture pathways during dry seasons raise critical concerns for the ecosystem. A strong El Niño expected in late 2026 could exacerbate these issues and increase fire risks.
