The survey carried out by INPE and SOS Mata Atlântica shows that, covering the country, there was a total reduction of 40% in deforestation, which went from 14,366 hectares in the previous period to 8,668 hectares in the current report.


Currently, only 24% of the country's original Atlantic Forest remains. Of these, around 12.4% are forests monitored by the Atlas.


The result of the annual survey was the lowest ever recorded in the entire history of the Atlas, which has been collecting this data since 1989, marking for the first time an annual deforestation of less than 10 thousand hectares in mature forest areas of the Atlantic Forest.


In four decades of research, the Atlas monitors 17 states covered by the Atlantic Forest Law. In the current edition, 99.6% of the 130.9 million hectares in the area of application of environmental legislation were analyzed.
