Amazon deforestation alerts fall to lowest level since 2013, Brazilian data show
Brazilian satellite data show Amazon deforestation alerts dropped to their lowest level since 2013, with 2,874 square kilometers recorded between August 2025 and July 2026, a 36% decrease from the previous year. The decline follows stronger environmental enforcement under President Lula da Silva and aligns with similar reductions in other biomes. If confirmed by higher-resolution monitoring systems, this could mark the lowest official deforestation rate in the Amazon since 1988.
