Deforestation in Brazil

BBC World Service - More or Less, Deforestation in Brazil

Has it increased significantly since President Bolsonaro took office in January?

Fires in the Amazon have been widely covered by the media in recent weeks. Our last programme looked at the extent of those fires. This week we ask a broader question – what do we know about deforestation in Brazil? Has it increased significantly since President Jair Bolsonaro took office in January? We look at the long terms trend.
