(Nog even en we hebben nog alleen maar de amazon van Bezos over.
Macron's spierballentaal een tijd geleden toen de Amazone in brand 
stond... Je hoort er niets meer over. Het is gewoon GAME OVER.)

Deforestation rate climbs higher as Amazon moves into the burning season
by Mongabay.com on 10 July 2020

     Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon climbed higher for the 
fifteenth straight month, reaching levels not seen since the mid-2000s, 
according to data released today by Brazil’s national space research 
institute INPE.

     INPE’s satellite-based deforestation alert system detected 1,034 
square kilometers of forest clearing during June 2020 bringing the 
twelve-month total to 9,564 sq km, 89% higher than a year ago.

     The extent of deforestation over the past year is the highest on 
record since INPE started releasing monthly numbers in 2007.

     The 12-month deforestation rate has risen 96% since President Jair 
Bolsonaro took office in January 2019.
