In an effort to combat ongoing destruction in the Amazon rainforest, Brazil has unveiled a plan to significantly increase selective logging over the next two years. The plan aims to expand logging to an area the size of Costa Rica, with the goal of conserving these vulnerable forest lands.
Forest concessions are being granted to companies under strict rules, allowing them to log up to six trees per hectare over a 30-year period. Protected species and older, seed-producing trees are off-limits, ensuring sustainable logging practices.
