There is some good news for our environment. The cutting down of trees of Amazon rainforests in Brazil has declined. Infact has dropped to its lowest level in 24 years.

“It is the lowest deforestation rate since Brazil began its monitoringin 1988”, said Brazil’s Environment Minister Izabella Teixeira. Deforestation refers to the cutting, clearing, and removal of rainforests.
