BRASILIA, Brazil, October 27, 2006 (ENS) - The rate of deforestation in the Amazon has slowed down according to figures released by the Brazilian government today. About 13,000 square kilometers (5,019 square miles) of rainforest were destroyed in the 12 months between August 2005 and 2006. This is about half the rate reported during the same period between 2003 and 2004, and the second lowest rate since recordkeeping began in 1988. >>more (http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/oct2006/2006-10-27-07.asp)

Thank the good lord. This is the first step to actually saving it. Hopefully they can keep this up and actually save the rainforest.

I would like to see the rates for deforestation of the Amazon since then. I do know that with the trees gone the areas deforested eventually have been desertified by the induced climate change of less rainfall from the absence of the humidity causing trees.:cry::mad::no:
