Deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon increased in October for the first time in four months, government data revealed.
In October, deforestation rose 50% from the prior year to 836 square kilometres. Forest clearances were down 6% in the first ten months of 2020, compared to the same period a year ago, to 7,899 square kilometres, Brazil’s INPE found.
