Clearance reaches its highest level since the mid-2000s
node
After several years of rising rates, PRODES records annual clearance at a level not seen since 2006, commonly reported as around 13,000 square kilometres. The exact figure is not asserted here. The reversal is important for the argument rather than the number: the fall achieved between 2004 and 2012 was undone within a decade, which establishes that the earlier decline was policy-dependent and not structural.
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.
