The Brazilian government announced on Friday that annual deforestation in the Amazon rainforest has reached its lowest level since record-keeping began in 1988. Official satellite data indicates that 3,335 square kilometers (1,300 square miles) of forest were lost during the monitoring period spanning August 2025 through July 2026.
This data represents the most recent annual assessment of forest cover loss in the region. The findings serve as the primary official metric for tracking environmental changes within the Amazon basin over the specified twelve-month timeframe.
