Scenarios about 'amazon rainforest'
The Amazon rainforest is the world's largest tropical rainforest, spanning nine South American countries with Brazil containing the majority of its territory. This biodiversity hotspot, home to approximately 10% of known species on Earth, has played a crucial role in global climate regulation and has shaped the development of numerous indigenous civilizations throughout history. In alternate history scenarios, different patterns of colonization, conservation, or development of the Amazon often dramatically alter global environmental conditions and geopolitical power structures.
What If South American Deforestation Was Addressed Earlier?
Exploring the alternate timeline where international efforts halted widespread Amazon rainforest destruction in the 1980s, potentially altering global climate trajectories, biodiversity conservation, and economic development across South America.
What If The Amazon Rainforest Had Different Protection Policies?
Exploring the alternate timeline where stronger international and regional protection measures were implemented for the Amazon rainforest in the 1980s, potentially altering global climate outcomes and preserving biodiversity.
What If The Amazon Rainforest Was Never Deforested?
Exploring the alternate timeline where the Amazon rainforest remained intact, preserving its biodiversity and critical role in global climate regulation, with profound impacts on environmental systems and human development.
