Brazilian Amazon deforestation falls to 10-year low in first half of 2026
Satellite data from INPE indicates deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell to its lowest level in 10 years during the first half of 2026. This national decline is based on data covering only the first six months of the year. The full-year trend may differ and the satellite data is subject to revision.
Why it matters
This reduction addresses the critical problem of rainforest loss and indicates a positive shift in national forest protection efforts.
