Brazil Loses Forests Equal To “1 Mn Football Pitches”
“Nearly 8,000 Sq.Km was cleared in one year”.
“Amazon Deforestation could explode into an unimaginable situation”.
According to Green peace deforestation in Brazil has reached such epic proportions than an area equivalent to 1 million football pitches was lost in just one year. By August 2017 and July 2018, deforestation increased according to the government institutions of special investigations almost 14 percent with an area of 7,900 Sq.Km of forest cleared . Within one year more (or) less 1 million football fields of deforestation. Every year we have this news that forest is being criminally deforested.
Tereza cristina as agriculture minister also caused concerns as she heads the agribusiness lobby in congress and is a supporter of clearing more forested area to make way for pasture land and agriculture . In Brazil more than 60% of the Amazon Rain forest represents more than half of Earth’s revaining Rain forest and covers an area of 5.5 billion Sq.Km. Between 2004 to 2012 deforestation in Brazil was slowed through controls imposed at a government level as well as by the private sector.
