But despite their critical roles in sustaining life and slowing climate change, nearly all are at risk. 3: 207. Ultimately, says Houlihan, ecological tipping points beyond which ecosystems like rainforests will collapse have been predicted for decades; it is a matter of global security and resilience that we save them. Particularly as rainforests contain scientific insights that are being lost before they can even be revealed. Conducted by economists and agricultural engineers, the research found that the economic benefit of the Amazon Rainforest, if it is conserved, would be $8.2 billion a year. ; He, X.A. This method generally requires long treat time and the remediation effect is not very stable. 2010), as at least two-thirds of terrestrial organisms are associated with forests and particularly tropical rainforests, due to their uniquely rich biodiversity (FAO and UNEP 2020; Wilson & Peter 1988).Indeed, the fragmentation of ; Lu, Q.
