The Inquisitr: NASA says an area in the Amazon rainforest, twice the size of California, is experiencing a "megadrought" caused by climate change. The Amazon has been hit hard with droughts. The first drought hit in 2005. The rainforest was still recovering when another drought hit in 2010. The widespread drought damage may be a sign the rainforest is showing signs of a large-scale degradation due to climate change, says a research team led by NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

The results of this study, combined with the observed recurrences of droughts every few years and associated damage to forests in both the southern and western Amazon over the past decade, reveal that the rainforest might be showing the initial signs of potential large-scale degradation due to climate change.

Guardian: In what looks set to be one of the most one-sided struggles in the history of Amazon forest conservation, an indigenous community of about 400 villagers is preparing to resist the Ecuadorean army and one of the biggest oil companies in South America. The Kichwa tribe on Sani Isla, who were using blowpipes two generations ago, said they are ready to fight to the death to protect their territory, which covers 70,000 hectares of pristine rainforest.
