Amazon deforestation hits record low
The levels of Amazon rainforest deforestation in Brazil decreased to their lowest point in a decade during 2025-2026, reaching 2,874 square kilometers—a decline of approximately 37% compared to the previous year. This reduction comes amid efforts by the government led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who has pledged to combat illegal deforestation by 2030, following a significant surge during the tenure of his predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, which peaked in 2022 at 12,500 square kilometers. Lula believes that maintaining this trend can help address climate change, despite criticism from some environmental activists who oppose his support for offshore oil exploration off the Amazon coast.
