In a world so bleak, this is maybe one of the very few uplifting news.

fun fact australia is clearing Forrest (including old growth rainforests) faster than the Amazon and has been for quite a while now. No one seems to give a fuck. and most Australians don't even know it's happening.

Turns out it matters who's in power...
Viva Lula!
Turns out they're still destroying the Amazon like there's no tomorrow. The Amazon is beyond point of return anyway

Hi, Brazilian biologist here!
You're correct that the current deforestation rate is still positive, meaning, we are still losing forest area daily.
You're incorrect about us being past the point of no return - we are dangerously close to it though.
The post is correct about a massive reduction in the deforestation rate in the last 5 years.
