Deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon jumped to the highest level for the month of November since record-keeping began in 2015, according to preliminary government data published on Friday
Destruction of the world’s largest tropical rainforest totalled 563 square km (217.38 square miles) in November, 103% more than in the same month last year, according to the country’s space research agency INPE.
That would bring total deforestation for the period from January to November to 8,934 square km, 83% more than in the same period in 2018 and an area almost the size of Puerto Rico.
The data released by INPE was collected through the DETER database, a system that publishes alerts on fires and other types of developments affecting the rainforest.
