Rainforest destruction is increasing in the Amazon!

Oh dear. Check out the recent news article on the acceleration of the destruction of the Amazon rain forest. This is particularly useful to YEAR 8 AND YEAR 13 who have been studying this recently.


In summary, the destruction of the Amazon rain forest in Brazil has accelerated for the first time in four years, Brazilian officials say. Satellite images show 11,968 sq km of land was cleared in the year to July, nearly 4% higher than the year before.
