Amazonian environments are being degraded by modern industrial and agricultural activities at a pace far above anything previously known, imperiling its vast biodiversity reserves and globally important ecosystem services. The most substantial threats come from regional deforestation, because of export market demands, and global climate change. The Amazon is currently perched to transition rapidly from a largely forested to a nonforested landscape. These changes are happening much too rapidly for Amazonian species, peoples, and ecosystems to respond adaptively. Policies to prevent the worst outcomes are known and must be enacted immediately. We now need political will and leadership to act on this information. To fail the Amazon is to fail the biosphere, and we fail to act at our peril.
亚马逊地区的环境正因现代工农业活动而退化，其速度远超以往任何时候，危及该地区 vast biodiversity reserves（大量生物多样性储备）以及具有全球重要意义的生态系统服务。最严重的威胁来自因出口市场需求导致的区域森林砍伐以及全球气候变化。目前，亚马逊正处于从主要森林覆盖景观迅速转变为非森林景观的边缘。这些变化发生得太快，亚马逊地区的物种、居民和生态系统无法做出适应性反应。预防最坏结果的政策是已知的，必须立即颁布。我们现在需要政治意愿和领导力来依据这些信息采取行动。对亚马逊地区坐视不管就是对生物圈的失职，而不采取行动将使我们自冒风险。
