Tonight, Lula said that he would fight for a "zero-deforestation" target in the Amazon. Note that this is not a zero-illegal-deforestation target; he spoke about all deforestation. According to recent research, Luna's victory might stop the destruction of 75,960 km2 of the Amazon rainforest by 2030. The size of that territory is comparable to Panama. Brazil's emissions would be significantly reduced if this were done in conjunction with a renewed emphasis on forest restoration.
I share the joy for the election of Brazils president, Lula. I also hope that the country and the Amazon will be well taken care of and that the overall winner is and will be nature.
I’m so relieved that Lula won! I do hope the transition in Brazil will be smooth and without any upheaval as we had here on Jan 6, 2021. There IS hope for our planet.
My nerves! I mean it had to go down to the wire like that! The collective sigh of relief could really be felt around the world. I hope he can deliver.
I've said that cats would make great presidents for a while (or Prime Ministers). Luna would be perfect! That look she gives the photographer - I wonder if sb had forgotten about her food or cuddles 😉
A big thank-you to 50.8% of the people in Brazil who voted for Planet over profit.
Joyful news from Brazil!
The world owes huge thanks to slightly more than half of Brazilian voters for giving environment a chance for a better future for the planet.
Climate criminals can be defeated when “the better angels of our nature” take a stand.
Thank you for this inspiring article of wonderful news!
