Destruction of the world's largest tropical rainforest totalled 563 square km (217.38 square miles).

Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon jumped to the highest level for the month of November since record-keeping began in 2015, according to preliminary government data published on Friday.

That would bring total deforestation for the period from January to November to 8,934 square km, 83 percent more than in the same period in 2018 and an area almost the size of Puerto Rico. The Deter numbers are not considered official deforestation data. That comes from a different system called"Prodes", also managed by INPE.

Deforestation usually slows around November and December during the Amazon region's rainy season. The number for last month was unusually high.
