Deforestation Rates in Brazilian Amazon Dropped 47% in August – EcoLocalizer
Data released publicly last Friday indicates that deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon were 47% lower in August of 2010 compared to August of 2009. Nice to hear that.
This information was released by Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE). INPE used satellite imagery and analyzed it with the Real Time Deforestation Detection System (DETER) to come to this conclusion. It found that “265 square kilometers of forests were cleared in August 2010, against 498 square kilometers during the same month in 2009.”
