RIO DE JANEIRO: Deforestation continued to surge in the Brazilian Amazon last month, according to official figures released on Friday , showing it was the worst May and worst first five months of the year on record.
That was a 12-per cent increase from last year, and the worst May since record keeping began in August 2015. Activists accuse Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right climate change sceptic, of emboldening those responsible for deforestation with calls to legalise farming and mining on protected lands.
