O QUE ESTÁ ACONTECENDO COM O DESMATAMENTO NA AMAZÔNIA?
Summary
A fact sheet by the Climate Policy Initiative analyzing deforestation trends in the Amazon, highlighting the effectiveness of Brazilian conservation policies and the shift toward smaller clearings to evade satellite detection.
Key insights
- Brazilian conservation policies have been effective in reducing deforestation rates between 2002 and 2012, though new public policies must address regional differences to further strengthen these efforts.
- Deforestation practices shifted between 2002 and 2012 to avoid detection by satellite systems, which are unable to detect small clearings of less than 25 hectares (approximately 30 football fields).
- Deforestation practices are not uniform and vary from one state to another.
