Devastated area hit 303 km² in the month, the second consecutive growth this year   One year after achieving the largest deforestation of the Amazon rainforest in at least 14 years, Brazil is heading towards a new negative record in 2022. In February alone, 303 km² of native forest were destroyed in the Brazilian Amazon.

Called PrevisIA, the tool shows the forest areas under the greatest threat of deforestation to assist in preventive actions If more effective measures to combat deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon are not taken, the region could have, in 2022, the largest felled forest area in the last 16 years. Estimates from the artificial intelligence platform

Forest destruction reached 10,362 km² last year, the largest area since the beginning of Imazon’s monitoring The Brazilian Amazon rainforest experienced its worst moment in the last 14 years in 2021. From January to December, 10,362 km² of native forest were destroyed according to the Brazilian research center Imazon, the largest area since the beginning

This devastated area is 31% higher than in the same period in 2020, according to Imazon     From January to November 2021, the Brazilian Amazon lost a forest area of 10,222 km², which is equivalent to seven times the city of São Paulo. This is the highest accumulated in the last 10 years, according

From August 2020 to July 2021, period known in Brazil as “deforestation calendar”, the rainforest destructed area hit 10,476 km² The devastation in the Brazilian Amazon has been running at its fastest pace in 10 years. Only in July, 2,095 km² was deforested, 80% more than in the same month in 2020, according to Imazon

The deforested area from January to June reached 4,014 km², 55% more than in the same period last year Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon region from January to June is already the highest in 10 years, according to Imazon. The research center that monitors the forest through satellite images published that the deforested area in

Deforested area in May 2021 reached 1.125 km², 70% more than the same month in 2020   Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has broken a new negative record. According to Imazon, a research center that monitors the rainforest through satellite images since 2008, the deforested area reached 1,125 km² in May 2021. This number represents

The advance of deforestation, illegal mining, fires and infrastructure projects indicate that the Amazon is much more threatened than eight years ago. This is what the new Atlas Amazon Under Pressure from the Amazon Geo-referenced Socio-environmental Information Network (Raisg) indicates, launched on December 8. The publication took an X-ray of the main threats to the
