Brazil’s space research agency says that deforestation in the Amazon rainforest has dropped sharply. Still, over 3,300 square kilometers (1,300 square miles) of rainforest were destroyed over the past year.
That is the lowest rate of destruction since the country started collecting data on rainforest areas. DW spoke to Carlos Nobre, one of Brazil’s top climate scientists, as well as Christian Poirier, program director at Amazon Watch.
