Rio de Janeiro: In 2024, for the first time in six years, the harvesting of forests in all nature biomes of Brazil slowed down, according to a report released months before hosting a major United Nations Climate Conference of the country.The total region in South America’s largest country was 32.4 percent less than 2023, about 1.24 million hectares, the report of the monitoring agency Mapbiomas has been stated.This was the second year in one line of low deforestation, with 2023, a decline of 11 percent from the previous year.Left President Luiz Inceno Lula Da Silva has promised to erase illegal deforestation by 2030, and wants to make Brazil a leader in the fight against global warming-in which carbon-absorbed forests play an important role.Nevertheless, despite advances, Brazil still lost about 3,403 hectares of indigenous vegetation – more than 8,000 football grounds – 2024.Brazil is the house of six biomes, each with its climate, vegetation and animal life: Amazon, Atlantic One, CERDO, Catata, Pantanal and Pampa.In Amazon, the largest tropical rainforest on the planet, logging on average 1,035 hectares per day, or “about seven trees per second”, reported in the report, reported in the report, mostly to clean the land for agriculture.Cendo, a tropical savanna rich in biodiversity, was the most affected by clearing for the second year in a line, lost 652,197 hectares – a field similar to the shape of the megacity of Sao Paulo. The report said that in 2024, two-thirds indigenous land recorded some deforestation.Forest harvesting is deliberate destruction of vegetation, and does not include forest fire, which reached a record level in Brazil last year, surrounded by excessive heat and climate change caused drought.The next round of United Nations Climate Dialogue COP30 is scheduled to take place in the city of Balem in Amazonian city.
