Guys, Amazon deforestation is down 50% this year!
It's worth saying twice: Amazon deforestation is down 50% this year!!!!!!! 2023 was also the best year ever for reforestation and carbon reduction! We're doing it! We're really doing it! #ShareGoodNewsToo
Um yes, this is good news. And it shows that politics works - it's because of Lula having succeeded Bolsonara.
But let's get real. The Amazon is still being deforested. Just a bit more slowly.
It's not something to celebrate. Things getting worse more slowly is still things getting worse.
