But the desert is under increased pressure from mining for the metals, both vital for renewable energy, as well as from wind and solar farms.</p> <p>Morgaso said such projects endangered the desert ecosystem.</p> <p>"In the face of a global need for energy, it is difficult for a minority of people to say no," said Morgaso. "The problem is: how can you value ... the wealth of the desert's biodiversity?"</p> <p></p></div><div class="row g-0 ArticleSingleImage_wrapper__v8ERl"><div class="col-24"><div class="imageContainer ImageContainer_imageContainer__MSr4b " style="aspect-ratio:100 / 58"><img alt="A view of a brine pool at SQM lithium mine at the Atacama salt flat is pictured, in Antofagasta region, Chile, May 3, 2023.

This represents a long lasting impact," said Cristiane Pankararu, an Indigenous leader and member of APIB,</p> <p>Brazil's largest umbrella organisation of Indigenous groups.</p> <p>The Amazon rainforest enjoys greater legal protection compared to other biodiverse ecosystems in Brazil.</p> <p>About 80% of Brazil's <a href="https://uc.socioambiental.org/pt-br/sobre" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protected areas</a> are in Brazil's north, where the Amazon rainforest is located, according to Instituto Socioambiental, an environmental and Indigenous advocacy group.</p> <p>Government regulation to protect natural areas from farm expansion is also stronger in the Amazon, where farmers are required to keep trees standing on 80% of their land.</p> <p>In other parts of Brazil that threshold is 20%.</p> <p>Yet other biodiverse regions of Brazil also face pressure from the expansion of agriculture and cattle ranching.</p> <p>"The whole Midwest has turned to agribusiness ... be it soy, corn or cattle production," said Pankararu. "You have huge extensions of deforested areas without any real environmental impact assessment or projects to mitigate those impacts."</p> <p>International trade regulations also give more protection to the Amazon rainforest.</p> <p>For example, the European Union will introduce a ban in 2026 on commodities linked to deforestation to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/eu-envoys-agree-implementation-delay-deforestation-law-2024-10-16/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protect forested areas</a>, such as the Amazon, but other ecosystems like <a href="https://www.context.news/nature/what-is-brazils-cerrado-and-why-should-the-world-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grasslands and savannas</a> will not be included.</p> <p>In Colombia, also home to vast swathes of Amazon rainforest, Indigenous leader Camilo Niño, said little climate finance was allocated to preserving ecosystems other than the Amazon.</p> <p>"We see that finance and all of the (environmental) agreements are focused on forests ... and not on other ecosystems," said Niño, a member of Colombia's Indigenous National Commission.</p> <p>A leader of the Arhuaco Indigenous people, Niño highlighted that the snowy mountaintops and the paramo from the Sierra Nevada mountainous region where they live are vital to recharge the rivers that feed the Amazon forest.</p> <p>"All the water that these areas produce ... go to the Colombian Amazon, so protection must be whole", he said.</p> <p>Environmentalist Yana Gevorgyan said little was known about most non-forest ecosystems.</p> <p>"There are certain ecosystems that aren't even well understood yet, which lack sufficient data for us to be able to map their distribution globally," said Gevorgyan, head of Group on Earth Observations, a partnership between governments and NGOs aimed at improving and promoting data about the earth.</p> <p>While there are well-structured initiatives to detect global forest loss, such as the <a href="https://www.globalforestwatch.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Global Forest Watch</a> database, initiatives to track loss of less well-known ecosystems like savannas are still lacking, she said.</p> <p>GEO launched a <a href="https://globalecosystemsatlas.org/atlas?bbox=-86.5,-56.83,102.71,65.02" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Global Ecosystems Atlas Initiative</a> last month that aims to map all the world's ecosystems by 2026, "not just mangroves, not just tropical forests, but in fact peatlands, salt marshes, savannas", said Gevorgyan.</p> <p>The idea is to gather data to keep track of the health of such often underrepresented and ignored natural areas.</p> <p>"No natural space exists in isolation", said Pankaruru.</p></div><hr class="Container_mainDivider__Y3X5_"/><section class="row"><div class="ArticleBodySignature_article__R6JeU"><div class="ArticleBodySignature_article__body__iMxON"><p>Context is powered by the Thomson Reuters Foundation Newsroom.</p><p>Our Standards: <a href="https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us/trust-principles.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span class="ArticleBodySignature_link__EnOFh"><u>Thomson Reuters Trust Principles</u></span></a></p></div></div></section></div></div></section><section class=" Layout_mobilePadding__qQQZO"><hr class="Divider_divider___wHDg undefined "/><div class="row"><div class="col-24"><div class="SectionTitle_wrapper__r9etq"><h2 class=" SectionTitle_title__UxTuq ">Tags</h2></div><ul class="Tags_wrapper__OoASR"><li class="Tags_item__TyHmp"><div class="Tags_btn__pDRJR ">Adaptation</div></li><li class="Tags_item__TyHmp"><div class="Tags_btn__pDRJR ">Forests</div></li><li class="Tags_item__TyHmp"><div class="Tags_btn__pDRJR ">Biodiversity</div></li></ul></div></div></section><div class="d-none d-lg-block"><hr class="Divider_divider___wHDg undefined "/><section class="Layout_mobilePadding__qQQZO"><div class="row"><div class="col-24"><div class=""><div class="SectionTitle_wrapper__r9etq"><h2 class=" SectionTitle_title__UxTuq ">MORE ON Nature</h2></div><div class="MoreOn_container__v1fSZ row "><div class="undefined col-xs-12 col-sm-8"><article class="MoreOn_article__oQxYe"><div class="imageContainer ImageContainer_imageContainer__MSr4b MoreOn_imageContainer__BbV6S" style="aspect-ratio:100 / 58"><a class="LinkWrapper_linkWrapper__DpMdK undefined" tabindex="-1" href="/nature/opinion/brazil-farming-minister-transform-the-worlds-food-production"><img alt="A local farmer shows bananas at his plantation damaged by flood waters in Careiro da Varzea in the Amazonas state, Brazil May 20, 2022.
