A focus on environmentalist action is the goal but more general discussion about environmental degradation or preservation is also welcome.

Deforestation in the Amazon has significantly decreased, hitting its lowest level since March 2018. In May 2024, only 501 square kilometers were deforested, a 40% reduction from the previous year.
Over the past year, deforestation dropped by 54%, reflecting successful efforts to curb forest loss. Improved monitoring and enforcement are credited for this decline. However, ongoing challenges remain to sustain and further this progress.
