More than a third of the Amazonian forests are being degraded by humans, researchers have calculated.

The Amazon rainforest is considered the lungs of the planet, but people continue to destroy it. Experts have calculated that now more than a third of the jungle in the region is being degraded due to anthropogenic activities. Using satellite imagery, the researchers were able to determine that 38% of the remaining Amazonian tropics are now endangered. Scientists explained that forest degradation affects people's health.
