Brazil's government says deforestation rates in the country's Amazon and savanna regions have fallen to record lows since records began in 1988.
Of course this trend could shift depending on the outcome of the upcoming elections.
Worth mentioning that deforestation had surged under the administration of the former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro.

Lula is declared winner of Brazil’s election beating his right-wing rival Flávio Bolsonaro, who has not conceded. That's good news for the Amazon rainforests, democracy, and the world in general. A Carbon Brief’s analysis published last month said that Lula presidency saved at least 20,000km2 of Brazilian Amazon since 2022. https://apnews.com/article/brazil-election-lula-bolsonaro-runoff-vote-president-e2c9fe8fc4aa3e3675b9a8ec15405d93 #Amazonrainforest #brazil
