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

@adapalmer Grumpy old bastard here. OK a reduction in destruction is a small step in the right direction but I'll save the celebrations until we end each year with more mature forest than we had the year before.

@pthane If trends continue we won’t have many years to wait for that. Here’s hoping!

@adapalmer 'Mature' forest. Going to take a while. Cutting down forest that's taken hundreds of years to develop and planting saplings isn't a quick fix.
