Deforestation in the rainforest has rapidly increased over 30 percent since 2018 according to the INPE. The deforestation has been seen to be at its highest levels since 2008. This deforestation could have long-term implications for the health of the region and its significant impact on the functionality of the global ecosystem. Models suggest that the Amazon may be reaching a tipping point due to the deforestation and rising temperatures. Another key point of the effects of a shift in this biome is water availability and land degradation, after land is cleared many farmers take advantage of the land bringing cattle and then soy to where the trees once lay all in hopes of fueling global revenue.
