Clearance falls to its lowest level in roughly a decade

Assembled from 46 blocks · 1 evidence · 29 related

1. Story
2. PRODES records a second consecutive large annual fall, bringing clearance to a level not seen since the mid-2010s, commonly reported as a figure around 6,000 square kilometres. The exact value is not asserted here because it could not be checked. Two sharp reversals of direction within four years is the strongest available evidence that the Amazon clearance rate responds to enforcement on a timescale of months.

45. Evidence
46. Supports the existence, method and shape of the annual clear-cut deforestation series for the Brazilian Legal Amazon from 1988 onward. V55 verification basis: the TerraBrasilis portal was probed in this session and returned EGRESS_BLOCKED; no annual value was retrieved. Every specific PRODES figure referred to in this pack is described as commonly reported and flagged as unchecked in the record that mentions it.
