Brazil reverses Amazon deforestation through renewed enforcement under Marina Silva (2023-2024)
After returning as Brazil's environment and climate minister in January 2023, Marina Silva led a restoration of environmental enforcement, satellite monitoring and inter-agency coordination that helped cut Amazon deforestation roughly in half in 2023 and to its lowest level in years by 2024. The turnaround reversed a sharp rise recorded under the previous administration and supported Brazil's pledge to end illegal deforestation by 2030.
