Less Deforestation Across the Nation?

Falling deforestation rates in Brazil, Columbia, Indonesia and Malaysia are a boost to climate and biodiversity efforts. Forests are (so long as they are functional and not on fire) are the planet's major carbon sinks. The Brazilian rainforest annually removes equivalent of the entire carbon dioxide emissions of the UK. Rainforests are also are receptacles of enormous biodiversity (much of it undocumented) (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/07/progress-on-slowing-deforestation-could-boost-climate-efforts-say-experts-aoe). The slightly worrying thing is that it would probably only take a change of politicians for tree clearance and 'development' to be back on the agenda. All those acres that could be cleared to grow soya, to feed to cattle, to convert into burgers!
