Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest

Tipping Point by Luke Jerram combine smokes, lights and sound to simulate a forest fire.

More than 62,000 sq km of rainforest has burned in Brazil, this year alone.

Brazil and Colombia curbed logging in 2023, but other countries wiped out many of the gains.

The world's largest rainforest protects us from climate change but deforestation has left it vulnerable.

Preliminary data shows more than 5,000 sq km were cleared, still over six times the size of New York City.

This year's heat and drought in the Amazon intensify worries that it is approaching a tipping point.

For the second month in a row, there has been a huge reduction in the year-on-year deforestation rate.
