Lula’s 'zero deforestation' plan for the Amazon

BBC World Service - More or Less, Lula’s 'zero deforestation' plan for the Amazon

How much of the rainforest has been lost? And can Brazil’s new president save it?

Following Brazil’s presidential election, we examine the shrinking size of the world’s largest tropical rainforest. Can Lula Da Silva save it?

Lula Da Silva has pledged “zero deforestation” in the Amazon as he prepares to become Brazil’s next president, in contrast to the policies of outgoing leader Jair Bolsonaro under whom the destruction of the rainforest has soared. On this edition of More or Less we ask how much of the Amazon has been lost and whether Lula’s aim of zero deforestation can be achieved.
