Amazon deforestation in Brazil hits 1988 low
The Amazon rainforest in Brazil experienced the lowest level of deforestation since 1988, with approximately 3,335 square kilometers of land cleared between August 2025 and July 2026. This represents a 42% decrease compared to the previous period and a 71% reduction since the beginning of 2023. This decline is attributed to strengthened environmental monitoring and efforts to combat illegal logging activities. The states of Pará, Mato Grosso, and Amazonas were the most affected regions. The Brazilian government aims to eliminate illegal deforestation entirely by 2030.
