image for Lula da Silva keeps his promise: Amazon deforestation reduced by 64%

The deforestation of the Amazon rainforest has been in action for years, risking the collapse of the unique ecosystem.

But the election of Lula da Silva as president in early 2023 brought hope.

He announced that he would put an end to the deforestation of the Amazon.

He seems to be keeping his promise as, compared to November 2022, deforestation in the Amazon fell by 64% in November 2023.

A study attests that Lula’s plans have the potential to actually reduce deforestation in the Amazon by 89%.

Just a few days after taking office, Lula’s government took action and carried out controls in the rainforest against illegal deforestation. »

Authored by nbcnews.com

MUNICH — After months of requests from Ukrainian officials, the Biden administration is working toward providing Ukraine with powerful new long-range ballistic missiles, according to two U.S. officials.

For months, pro-Trump Republicans have said they will approve U.S. military aid to Ukraine only if the Biden administration agrees to a package of GOP immigration and border security measures.

The officials did not rule out asking allies to provide the missiles to Ukraine, as well, and replenishing their ATACM stockpiles. »
