Land-grabbers set vast areas on fire in a land reform settlement in the southwest of Pará state, in the Brazilian Amazon.
Deforestation rates in the Amazon fell 50% in 2023 and 27% in the first six months of 2024 , compared with the same period last year .
Many of the fires registered in the last months are related to illegal pasture renovation, but the dry weather makes it easier for the flames to spread to forestry areas.
Despite the overall reduction in Amazon deforestation, clearances have actually increased in some specific areas.
