More or Less: Behind the Stats - Lula’s “zero deforestation” plan for the Amazon

Download Lula’s “zero deforestation” plan for the Amazon

Lula Da Silva has pledged “zero deforestation” in the Amazon as he prepares to become Brazil’s next president, in contrast to the policies of outgoing leader Jair Bolsonaro under whom the destruction of the rainforest has soared. On this edition of More or Less we ask how much of the Amazon has been lost and whether Lula’s aim of zero deforestation can be achieved.
