How Deforestation Disrupts Regional Hydrological Cycles

Quick fact

In the Amazon, about half of the rainfall comes from moisture recycled by the forest itself; deforestation could reduce rainfall enough to shift the region toward a savanna-like climate.

Why this is interesting

You know forests are ‘lungs’ that absorb CO₂, but did you know they also ‘breathe’ water—and that cutting them down can make it rain less, even hundreds of miles away?
