    Brazilians didn't knew well what they were doing in the last presidencial run - I'm an example. Amazonia will lose an unrecoverable area in Bolsonaro's government.

    Take a look:

    Amazon deforestation accelerating towards unrecoverable 'tipping point'

    Deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon has surged above three football fields a minute, according to the latest government data, pushing the world’s biggest rainforest closer to a tipping point beyond which it cannot recover.

    The sharp rise – following year-on-year increases in May and June – confirms fears that president Jair Bolsonaro has given a green light to illegal land invasion, logging and burning.

    Clearance so far in July has hit 1,345 sq km, a third higher than the previous monthly record under the current monitoring system by the Deter B satellite system, which started in 2015.

    With five days remaining, this is on course to be the first month for several years in which Brazil loses an area of forest bigger than Greater London.

    Bolsonaro proposes mining of ore in the Amazon and titling the reserves for the indigenous. There is no plan to change the environmental preservation law, which is 80% on private land. Because a president would encourage illegal deforestation that doesn't follow the laws and doesn't pay tax?

    Brazil has satellite in the region is very accurate and is currently hiring another one for real time images.

    Many are attributing legal deforestation (20% on private land) as illegal.

    News:

    Amazon deforestation grows 278% in 2009 compared to 2008 (source: Folha de Săo Paulo)

    Amazon Legal Deforestation Bulletin SAD (source: imazon.org)

    In June 2019, SAD detected 801 square kilometers of deforestation in the Legal Amazon, a 31% reduction from June 2018.

    The majority (56%) of deforestation occurred in private areas or under various stages of tenure. The remaining deforestation was recorded in Settlements (26%), Conservation Units (13%) and Indigenous Lands (5%).




    The organs that provide data to the press were called to Brasilia (capital) for explanation.
