[153] [154] According to Global Forest Watch, this was a 3.1% decrease in primary rain forest in that period. [155] In 2014, the Map of the Peruvia Amazon showed that more than 25% of the lost forest area was part of idigenous territories and protected natural areas. [156] During 2020, the Peruvian amazon lost more than 200 000 hectares. [157]
Climate change is also likely to pose a serious threat to the region's fisheries: [141] 3.35 million fishers in the Southeast Asia are reliant on coral reefs, [142]: 1479 and yet those reefs are highly vulnerable to even low-emission climate change and will likely be lost if global warming exceeds 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) [150] [151] By 2050–2070 ...
