75% of Amazon rainforest shows signs of loss, study shows The Amazon rainforest may be nearing a "tipping point" of dieback, the point where rainforest will turn to savanna, a new study shows. Researchers found what they call "resilience" – the ability to recover from events such as droughts or fires – has declined consistently in the vast majority of the Amazon rainforest.
