Deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest rises to its highest in over a decade this year
This May 8, 2018 photo released by the Brazilian Environmental and Renewable Natural Resources Institute shows an illegally deforested area in Brazil's Amazon basin.
The Amazon is the world’s largest tropical rainforest and is considered key to the fight against climate change because of the vast amounts of carbon dioxide it absorbs. “The Bolsonaro government is responsible for every inch of forest destroyed. This government today is the worst enemy of the Amazon,” said Marcio Astrini, public policy coordinator for Greenpeace, in a statement.
In response to the numbers, Salles vowed to roll out a series of measures to counter the rising deforestation, including stepping up enforcement efforts assisted by high-resolution satellite imaging.
