Amazon Reforestation in Peru – TreeHope Project
The Amazon rainforest — one of the last true green hearts of our planet — is currently facing a serious deforestation crisis.
Although data from 2024 shows a slowdown in the rate of deforestation, the overall situation remains dramatic. According to monitoring by Imazon, 3.739 km²of forest were deforested in 2024. This represents a 7% decrease compared to 2023, yet it still means the loss of an enormous area of rainforest.
At the same time, forest degradation is increasing , mainly due to fires, droughts, and logging. In 2024, the highest level of forest degradation in the last fifteen years was recorded.

This situation has far-reaching consequences:
The rainforest is losing its ability to function as a carbondioxide sink, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and affecting the global climate.
Many plant and animal species are losing their natural habitats.
Indigenous and local communities,deeply connected to the forest,are losing their livelihoods and traditional ways of life.
The risk of soil degradation,loss biodiversity , and destabilization of ecosystems and local climate is increasing..
But not all is lost. Imazon reports that the slowdown in deforestation shows that protection efforts and sustainable forest management can be effective — if they continue.
That is why it is so important to act now.Every new tree can help restore a part of the lost forest.Every seedling that survives is a source of hope for nature,, los wildlife, and the people who live in the rainforest..
