Brazil's Amazon deforestation fell to a 10-year low

Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon fell to its lowest level in a decade in the first half of 2026, according to data from the country's National Space Agency. About 500 square miles of rainforest were cleared, down from 807 square miles in the same period of 2025, a drop of 38%.

The trend is a strong sign that enforcement and policy can still move the curve, but the loss remains substantial and the forest is still under pressure.

How we select – and how this page is kept up to date

1 Sources required

No item without a verifiable primary source. We prefer originals: WHO, IEA, IUCN, UN, World Bank, peer-reviewed journals and official statistics offices. Every entry names its source and date and links to the original.

2 Nur Konstruktives

Only verifiable progress appears here – but never whitewashed. Where a piece of good news has a "but" (such as funding gaps), we say so instead of wegzulassen.

3 Daily update

The selection is maintained daily from a fixed list of trustworthy sources. Only what has been checked against the original gets published – automation does not replace verification.

Full disclosure: This page is generated fully automatically by AI-assisted research with web search (as of this edition: July 29, 2026). Every item must cite a real, linked source (WHO, IEA, IUCN, UN, World Bank, peer-reviewed journals, etc.) — no manual editorial review takes place before publication. Found an error? Write to hallo@schlusslicht.de — we correct transparently.
