Lula says Amazon and Cerrado deforestation is at a historic low, with a 2030 zero-deforestation goal
Briefing by News4U · First published
Today Brazilian President Lula said on X that Brazil has recorded the lowest deforestation rates in the historical series in the Amazon and the Cerrado, that previously abandoned environmental policies have been resumed, and that the Amazon Fund, which had been stalled, has been reactivated. He said Brazil is returning to the COP showing it is possible to reconcile environmental preservation with sustainable development, that protecting the country's biomes is a political choice, and that they will keep to this path with the goal of reaching zero deforestation by 2030. The post did not present the underlying figures or the period covered by the historical series. [1]
