[:ja]ルカ・パルミタノ宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したアマゾン熱帯雨林の変容です。緑生い茂る地域から始まり、人間によって搾取され荒廃した黄土色の地域が見えてきます。2018年の人工衛星のデータによると、2017年から2018年の間に7900km2の熱帯雨林が失われたとされています。世界自然保護基金WWFは、2030年までに、最大でアマゾン熱帯雨林の60%が破壊され、この影響で二酸化炭素の排出量が555億トンから969億トンに増える可能性があることを報告しました。
The stark contrast between the Amazon forest – green trees, white clouds; the fires – grey columns of smoke; and the fields stolen from nature. #MissionBeyond #AmazonFires #Timelapse pic.twitter.com/J4dmtEhbb9

[Earthview Wonders][Video] No.860: Amazon Deforestation🇧🇷
Astronaut Luca Parmitano captured from ISS the change of Amazon jungle. The video starts out with green jungle and reaches the brownish fields human beings exploited of natural resources. The cattle sector of the Brazilian Amazon, incentivized by the international beef and leather trades, has been responsible for about 80% of all deforestation in the region, or about 14% of the world’s total annual deforestation, making it the world’s largest single driver of deforestation. According to 2018 satellite data compiled by a deforestation monitoring program called Prodes, deforestation has hit its highest rate in a decade. About 7,900km2 of the rainforest was destroyed between August 2017 and July 2018.
