Amazon forest fires will reach their lowest level in 2025

Forest fires in the Brazilian Amazon region fell to their lowest historical level in 2025, after reaching their peak in 2024, according to data released yesterday by the environmental monitoring network Map Biomas.

This news, unprecedented since data records began in 1985, is good news for the leftist President, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, less than three months before the elections in which he seeks to win a new term.

The largest rainforest in the world faced a critical situation in 2024, as an area amounting to 15.8 million hectares burned in light of a historic drought that exacerbated the fires, the vast majority of which were caused by human activity.
