La deforestación de la Amazonia descendió un tercio en 2023

July 7, 2023 - La deforestación en la Amazonia de Brasil bajó 34% en los primeros seis meses del mandato del presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva en comparación con el mismo período en 2022 bajo el presidente Jair Bolsonaro, según el gobierno

Data produced by Brazil’s national space research agency (Inpe) indicated that the rainforest shrank by 2,649 sq km this January-June, down from 3,988 sq km in those six months last year under President Bolsonaro.

Lula, 77, took office in January promising to end deforestation by 2030, after surging destruction under his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, who had slashed environmental protection efforts.

The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and 60% of it is in Brazil.
