Amazon deforestation alerts in Brazil fall to lowest level since 2013.
According to satellite data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE), deforestation alerts in the Brazilian Amazon have fallen to their lowest level since 2013. This national-level decline comes from the DETER near-real-time alert system, which is used for rapid detection and not for calculating the official annual deforestation rate.
Why it matters
This suggests that recent efforts to curb deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon may be showing results.
