Desmatamento na mata atlântica cai 40% em 2025

O desmatamento na Mata Atlântica atingiu o menor patamar anual já registrado em 2025, com queda de 40% na supressão de florestas maduras, segundo dados da SOS Mata Atlântica divulgados nesta quarta-feira.

O Atlas dos Remanescentes Florestais da Mata Atlântica apontou que a supressão de vegetação nativa caiu de 14,3 mil para 8.668 hectares no ano passado. Esse é o menor índice desde 2011 e a primeira vez que o número fica abaixo de 10 mil hectares.

O Sistema de Alertas de Desmatamento registrou queda de 28%, de 53,3 mil para 38,3 mil hectares. A agricultura respondeu por 96% das perdas.

Luís Fernando Guedes Pinto, diretor-executivo da fundação, atribuiu o resultado a mudanças no governo federal e a medidas como embargos remotos e corte de crédito para quem desmata ilegalmente. Ele destacou que o bioma abriga 70% da população brasileira e ainda resta apenas 12,4% da cobertura original de florestas maduras.
