Good news for the planet! 🌍 Brazil lost 1,829,597 hectares of native vegetation in 2023, marking a decrease of 11.6% in deforestation compared to 2022, according to monitoring network MapBiomas. 🙌
In their annual deforestation report, MapBiomas highlighted that Brazil's two largest biomes—the Amazon rainforest and a tropical savanna known as the Cerrado—accounted for more than 85% of the total deforested area in the country. 😲
This drop is a significant step towards preserving Brazil's rich biodiversity and combating climate change. 🌱 Let's hope this positive trend continues!
