Clearance reaches the highest annual figure in the record
node
The PRODES series records its highest annual clearance, commonly reported as a figure close to 29,000 square kilometres. The exact value is not stated here because it could not be checked in this session; the significant point is that the record maximum belongs to the mid-1990s and not to any later period.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

- Evidence
- 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.
