In Lula's first six months, Brazil Amazon deforestation dropped 34%, reversing trend under Bolsonaro
Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest dropped 33.6% in the first six months of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s term, providing an encouraging sign for his administration's environmental efforts.
This will be good news only when we start hearing about reforestation rates exceeding deforestation. Till then it's just various levels of bad.
And also when we hear about the heads of logging companies serving long jail sentences for all the deaths of indigenous people they've been directly complicit in.
Agreed, but at least it's not as bad as it was.
Let’s hear about reforestation in Europe and Asia. You guys destroyed your forests hundreds of years ago…
It's being done in Europe since decades actually and probably in other places. Not sure though whether the figures are true, and or how they are calculated. But I'd say slowly Europe is getting there.
Forest and nature destruction, started actually thousands of years ago What has changed though the last couple hundreds years is an extreem population boom.
The first polluted river in the world is like 5000 yo or something.
Ad. just saw someone else saying reforestation even started 100s of years ago. Though reforestation to me, also means more net green.
During the late 19th and 20th centuries a huge amount of artificial reforestation was implemented.

All we had to do was kick the liberal away and elect a leftist president. I wonder how low Amazon deforestation would be if the CIA didn't arrange a coup here every decade or two.
Lula is more liberal than Bolsonaro in what the word actually means but otherwise good comment
Yeah Bolsonaro is not a liberal, more like a wannabe fascist. And Lula is the actual neoliberal. All about the politics and platitudes and light populism. But still, the Brazilian’s private banks profited more during all of Lula’s years as president…
The truth is there can’t be a left in Brazil. The CIA would never allow it. When someone slightly left to the center (Dilma) tries to do any sensible actual social democratic idea she gets couped.
For thirty years I've been hearing about how a chunk of the rainforest the size of Idaho is getting cut down every day. How much could possibly be left?
Maybe some info on scales will be helpful. The Amazon and Brazil are huge. check the pic about USA and South America and the deforestation 1960-2006. The last years it's become worse.
