Brazil Reports Lowest Amazon Deforestation Since 1988 Amid Renewed Conservation Efforts
Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest fell to its lowest recorded level, with 3,335 square kilometres lost from August 2025 to July 2026, marking a 42% decline from the previous year. This reduction reverses a prior surge during 2019-2022 and reflects renewed government efforts under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, including reinstating the Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation. The plan focuses on monitoring, enforcement, sustainable economy promotion, and protected area management.
