Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has won re-election following a tight race against right-wing candidate Flávio Bolsonaro. Climate activists both within Brazil and internationally are celebrating the victory as positive news for the Amazon rainforest, citing Lula's previous four-year term which achieved a record decrease in deforestation in the world's largest rainforest.
The election outcome has generated optimism that Brazil will be able to achieve its flagship target of ending deforestation across all of its biomes by the year 2030.
