This reduction, which is great to see, coincides with Lula taking office: “Deforestation rates had doubled under Jair Bolsonaro, and things were looking bleak. But at the time of writing, Lula da Silva had just been re-elected and I said that this should give us some hope of a turnaround. This has happened. The latest satellite data from Brazil’s space agency, INPE, [has confirmed](https://terrabrasilis.dpi.inpe.br/app/dashboard/deforestation/biomes/legal_amazon/rates) a second consecutive year of declining deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon.”
Thanks for the hope posting
Well that’s something I guess.
Thank god, some good news
PT is back in power, and neither they nor Lula De Silva are interested in appeasing Western Capitalists and their exploitation of South America’s natural resources.
Sorry, just for clarity, you mean the *rate* of deforestation, correct?
Not the total amount of deforestation.
