Social Media Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon fell by 33.6% in the first six months of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's term compared with the same period in 2022, the government says. Its suggests the rainforest shrank by 2,649 sq km this January-June, down from 3,988 sq km in those six months last year under President Bolsonaro. The released government satellite data has not been independently verified. Lula has pledged to end deforestation, or forest clearance, by 2030.

thaibeachlovers Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Needs to be zero. About time for those "world leaders" to put up or shut up. So far they have achieved zilch, IMO. Not just Brazil- apparently huge areas of Africa and SEA being deforested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lantern Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Seems, to me, we have most of the world leaders carping on about "how we are meeting our targets" "on track to reduce emissions" etc. etc. And, in the meantime, just carrying on just the way it always been, knowing they will all be long gone by the time the sh*t hits the fan.
