Brazil has launched an ambitious reforestation program to restore 20 million hectares of deforested land in the Amazon by 2035. The initiative is part of the country’s efforts to combat climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
The government is partnering with indigenous communities and environmental organizations to plant native tree species and rehabilitate damaged ecosystems. Financial incentives will also be provided to farmers who adopt sustainable agricultural practices.
Deforestation in the Amazon has surged in recent years, contributing to global carbon emissions. Brazilian Environment Minister Ana Silva emphasized the importance of reversing this trend and preserving the region’s biodiversity. International environmental groups have welcomed the policy, urging transparency and effective implementation.
