Brazil's Lula curbs Amazon deforestation by 2 million hectares since 2022

Brazilian President Lula's administration has prevented at least 2 million hectares of Amazon deforestation since 2022, per La Silla Vacía. The claim is based on government data and likely reflects reduced deforestation rates compared to prior years, but exact attribution to policy is uncertain. This matters as it signals a reversal of the previous administration's environmental rollback, with global climate implications.
