Recent studies and reports have highlighted the increasing threat of climate change on the Amazon, with predictions indicating more extreme weather patterns, including both severe droughts and flooding, in the decades ahead. These changes are expected to challenge the region's ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. Research involving climate modeling has suggested that these alterations are a result of global warming's impact on the interaction between the oceans and the atmosphere. This shift towards more extreme weather conditions could have profound implications for the Amazon's biodiversity and its role in the global climate system.
