Amazon will not reach their rainfall goal for this month
May is the 8th month of our Amazon Rainfall Project. We were highly successful over most of the Amazon rainforest basin, except for a portion of the South, centered on the two towns of Bahla and Colas. These are general areas where the rainforest has been impacted by logging. The long range forecasts are suggesting that this area will continue to have low rainfall amounts under our 170mm goal. We are attempting to reverse this situation using the Language to Nature Method. Since the rainforest creates its own rainfall, when the forest is logged and deforestation occurs, rainfall can decrease over these areas. This is not always the case, and sometimes rainfall can actually increase. It could always be a possibility that keeping these areas drought free could be a challenge.
