Over the past 40 years, about a fifth
of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest has been
deforested (Reuters 2008). Official statistics
show that annual deforestation
has been close to 20 000 square kilometres
over the last 10 years, reaching
a peak of 27 429 square kilometers in
2004, and then being reduced annually
to 11 224 square kilometers in 2007
(INPE 2008).
