Brazilian leaders praise a 34% drop in the rate of deforestation in the Amazon

An officer of the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) takes part in an operation against Amazon deforestation at an illegal mining camp, known as garimpo, at the Yanomami territory in Roraima State, Brazil, on February 24.

The decrease began in January after far-right President Jair Bolsonaro left office and leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was sworn in.
