This reduction can be attributed to several factors, including the effectiveness of public policies aimed at combating biome degradation and the volume of rainfall.
Achieving the goal of zero deforestation requires Brazil to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance environmental monitoring, and establish protected forest areas.
These are indigenous, quilombola, and conservation territories, public forests, and areas destined for settlements that are illegally occupied by cattle ranches, for example.
One of the primary environmental goals for the next four years is to achieve a 20% reduction in the total area deforested annually across the six Brazilian biomes.
A survey indicates that the loss of vegetation stood at 116 km², 80% less than in 2022, when it reached 590 km². This was also the lowest level of deforestation reached in November since 2017.
