Deforestation in the Amazon and the 'Maritime Continent' is causing significant impacts on ecosystems and climate patterns, according to multiple studies. The loss of forests could lead to widespread forest dieback and abrupt declines in rainfall, potentially reshaping ecosystems. The studies also highlight how deforestation is making the El Niño-Southern Oscillation more unpredictable. These findings emphasize the urgent need for action to address deforestation and mitigate its effects on the environment.
