Annual clearance reaches its lowest recorded level
node
PRODES records the lowest annual clearance in the series to that date, commonly reported as a figure below 5,000 square kilometres - roughly a fifth of the 2004 level, achieved over eight years without a corresponding fall in agricultural output. The exact value is not asserted here because it could not be checked. In the same year Brazil enacts a substantially revised Forest Code.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
