The data comes at a time when the rainforest is suffering from the worst drought in 40 years.
Ending illegal deforestation is a priority of Brazil’s president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s administration, both internationally and domestically.
The total area cleared in the Amazon in the first nine months of the year fell 49.5%, according to preliminary data from Brazilian space research agency INPE. In September, Brazil’s environment minister Marina Silva announced at the United Nations Summit in New York more ambitious climate targets for the country.
The upbeat data, however, comes at a time when the Amazon is suffering from the worst drought in the last 40 years, which increases the risk of wildfires.
