The Turkish northeast Syria offensive launched on 9 October in the wake of United States President Trump’s decision to pull US troops out of the region, has “severely impacted” an already dire humanitarian situation, says the UN, with civilians fleeing the border areas, including into neighboring Iraq. However clashes continued on the border between Turkey and Syria, according to eyewitnesses and Kurdish fighters, despite US Vice President Mike Pence’s announcement that he and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had brokered a ceasefire there. A handful of Christian-led aid groups remain in northeast Syria, despite pullbacks from major aid organizations. Nearly 300,000 residents have fled the fighting, and hundreds have been killed, including at least 18 children, according to the United Nations. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed that Turkey’s militias had initially prevented a convoy from the Kurdish Red Crescent and the Free Burma Rangers from entering Ras al-Ain to provide aid. It said it expected casualties to rise due to the high number of wounded who can’t access medical care. Turkey has justified its offensive, saying that the US allied Kurdish militia, which did the bulk of the fighting in the successful campaign against ISIL extremists, as terrorists. A Russian-negotiated truce saw the start of joint Russian and Turkish patrols on Friday, according to news reports, aimed at enforcing the “safe zone” to a depth of around 30 kilometers south of the border.

The contrast is staggering. On one side of a narrow track is cool, moist rainforest, stretching northwest for hundreds of kilometers through the almost intact Xingu indigenous reserve. On the other side is hot, bare ground being prepared to plant soy on a farm the size of 14 Manhattans.
This, says earth systems scientist Michael Coe, is the front line of deforestation in the Amazon—where the rainforest meets agribusiness, but also where a rainforest ecosystem is being degraded into savanna grassland. It is also “the perfect laboratory” for exploring how forests interact with climate, and how that changes when the forest disappears, says Coe, of the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts. And it is where Brazilian and American scientists are keeping watch for the long-predicted tipping point—the moment when the Amazon, the world’s largest rainforest, begins a process of runaway degradation, when so much forest has been lost that the transition to savanna is irreversible.
That will be the moment when the Amazon ceases to be a carbon sink that helps protect the planet from climate change, and turns into a global source for carbon emissions.
Following the widespread fires set this year on the fringes of the Amazon—breaking a run of 15 years during which deforestation had been dramatically reduced—places such as this are on the front line as the Amazon faces its most fundamental crisis, with temperatures rising, dry seasons lengthening, and rainforest trees being replaced by savanna species.
In August 2018 there were 3,500 fires in 148 indigenous territories, and while the Brazilian constitution protects both the environment and indigenous people who live there, the local agencies tasked with such protections often fail to protect either.
“We have over a decade of data here. Nowhere else in the tropics has that,” says Coe. What they’re seeing is alarming.
