Amazon Deforestation in Brazil has reached record levels for the month of April according to preliminary government data revealed on Friday. In April deforestation in the region totaled 1, 012.5 Km²(390Miles²) according to the National space research agency Inpe. Destruction of the Brazilian Amazon in the first four months hit a record of 1, 954 Km² (754 Miles²) an increase of 69 per cent compared to the same period of 2021.

According to Environmental campaigners’ deforestation in the Amazon has soared ever since right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019, whose claims that more farming and mining in the Amazon region to reduce poverty. Preservation of the Amazon is pivotal to stopping catastrophic climate change as forest trees absorb climate-warming carbon dioxide. The first law of ecology is everything is connected, when a tree is cut down, the food it provided has disappeared, and the shelter it gave, the carbon it stored, the roots preventing  erosion, and the shade it created are all gone

When the entire forests are destroyed, it leaves a wound that infects the land around it. Each forest has a unique set of animals, people, and circumstances that need to be taken into account.
