Lula’s government recently announced the lowest Amazon deforestation rate on record. However, he faces a Congress dominated by the far right and agribusiness interests, which often back measures weakening environmental protections.
Wasn’t the Amazon bought by a Swedish billionaire to preserve it? What happened to that?
Lmao.
From what I recall, this dude bought something like 1500 sq km. The amazon rain forest is 6-7 million sq km.
for now, yeah. it’s gonna be a long road to keep it that way.
I mean, it’s probably past the point of no return in terms of wildfires. Soon, like most forests in the world, they will be carbon sources instead of sinks.
tbf, wildfires aren’t a thing in the amazon rainforest.
criminal burning is though.
They weren’t a thing*
goddamnit
