Rainforests are often called the “lungs of the Earth,” soaking up planet-warming carbon dioxide and expelling life-giving oxygen.In a bit of rare good news, deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon fell by one-third in the first six months of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s administration compared to the same period last year, the government said last week.
Mr Lula’s leftist government also has pledged to seize half of all land deforested illegally in areas designated as having special environmental protection, set aside three million hectares of protected land by 2027, and strengthen Brazil’s network for environmental monitoring. AFP
