Brazil’s presidential election has put the Amazon’s future at the center of debate between President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro. Deforestation reportedly fell 45% under Lula, who targets zero net deforestation by 2030. Bolsonaro has pledged to end illegal deforestation by 2029 but offered fewer details. The next government will face pressure from agribusiness, Indigenous communities, and environmental groups as it decides how to enforce forest rules and regulate farming, mining, and development across the rainforest.
