this naturally humid ecosystem to the brink of collapse. But
"deforestation" is an imprecise term which can sometimes obscure what is
actually happening to the world's largest rainforest – and who needs to
act.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">You're reading the Imagine
newsletter – a weekly synthesis of academic insight on solutions to
climate change, brought to you by The Conversation. I'm Jack Marley,
energy and environment editor. This week, we're discussing why a gathering
of countries in South America matters for the whole world. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"Just 20% of the world’s
tropical forests are classified as intact," says Tommaso Jucker, a
lecturer in biology at the University of Bristol.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"The rest have been
impacted by logging, mining, fires, or by the expansion of roads or other
human activities. And all this can happen <A

by the satellites</STRONG></A> that monitor deforestation."</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Reported rates of
deforestation do not capture the full picture. Jucker says that happening
on a far bigger scale, at least in tropical forests, is <A

once uninterrupted forest being broken into smaller, isolated parcels.
Riddled with roads and perforated with mines and saw mills, rainforests
dry out quicker and can flip from a sink to a source of the greenhouse
gases driving climate change.</P>

href="https://theconversationuk.cmail19.com/t/r-l-tthiiua-nljldnkrt-k/">A
new study</A> has confirmed that a leading cause of forest
degradation in the Amazon is fire deliberately set to clear land for
farming. July usually marks the start of this <A

season</A> in Brazil, which is partly why many observers have been so
impressed by the recent plunge in forest loss. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">A long-term solution must
involve convincing farmers in the Amazon not to set fires, say Federico
Cammelli, Jos Barlow, and Rachael Garrett, conservation experts at the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Lancaster University and the
University of Cambridge respectively.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"<A

href="https://theconversationuk.cmail19.com/t/r-l-tthiiua-nljldnkrt-o/"><STRONG>Fire
is so appealing to farmers</STRONG></A> because it does the work of
fertilisers, pesticides and labourers for free," they say. "First, they
leave the land fallow to recover after a few harvests and it’s overtaken
by pioneer plants and pests. The regrowing vegetation is then slashed and
burned, providing a low-cost way to clear debris and fertilise the land
while removing pests."</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">Cammelli, Barlow and
Garrett have shown that slash and burn farming degrades the soil and is
less profitable in the long run than using machinery, planting trees and
rotating pastures. <A
style="COLOR: #202020; TEXT-DECORATION: underline; transition: opacity 0.1s ease-in"
href="https://theconversationuk.cmail19.com/t/r-l-tthiiua-nljldnkrt-b/">Their
research</A> suggested farms using fire earned 63% less than those
that didn't.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">But poverty prevents many
farmers from investing in these changes. Once abundant rainfall and moist
forests meant fires used to remain in areas that had been cleared before,
the trio say. Climate change has increased the risk of crop fires burning
out of control. In a <A

conducted with 580 farmers in the eastern Amazon, 43% said they were on
the receiving end of an escaped fire between 2014 and 2019.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">"Just as the risk of
escaped fires drives more farmers to light fires of their own, it also
discourages people from investing in their own fire control measures,"
Cammelli, Barlow and Garrett add.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><STRONG>The world's
responsibility</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-TOP: 20px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px">So, how to break this
cycle? The trio say subsidising alternative farming techniques "may be the
best option". At the recent summit, the leaders of the Amazon nations
