Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon increased in July 2024, marking the first month-over-month rise since March 2023, with 666 square kilometers of forest destroyed.
Despite the recent increase, deforestation is still 46% lower this year compared to last year on a 12-month rolling basis, though severe drought and wildfires have worsened conditions.
Cerrado deforestation has declined for four consecutive months but remains near a five-year high.
The Brazilian government is expected to release a preliminary official deforestation figure for the year ending July 31, 2024, later this year, timed to coincide with minimal cloud cover for accurate year-over-year comparisons.
