Lula da Silva keeps his promise: Amazon deforestation reduced by 64%

In order for the forest to no longer shrink, the decrease in deforestation would have to be at least 100%.

Better than getting worse more quickly, which is what was happening.

It's a step in the right direction, at least

Forest still exists (positive)

Forest is shrinking (first derivative is negative)

Forest shrank less than it did previously (second derivative is positive)

Yup. But that won't change the rabid fascists claim both sides are basically the same.

It's the same thing they're doing across the political spectrum in many countries today, like the united states, the UK, Italy, etc
