An area of 666 square kilometers ( 250 square miles ) was destroyed in the Amazon last month , up 33 percent from the 500 square kilometers lost in July 2023 .

Deforestation is strongly linked to agricultural expansion and illegal mining.

The practice had dramatically worsened under President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's far-right predecessor.
