    Brazil tops list of deforestation-hit countries, study shows

    During the first two terms of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), in the 2000s, the loss of forests had decreased considerably

    According to a survey released Tuesday by Global Forest Watch (GFW), a forest monitoring platform developed by the University of Maryland, Brazil has lost 1.8 million hectares of primary rainforests, mostly in the Amazon, a 15% increase between 2021 and 2022, thus topping the list of nations in such a situation, followed by the Republic of Congo, Bolivia, Indonesia, and Peru.
