Forest clearances in August totaled 918 square kilometers , down 32% from the same month a year ago, data from the national space research agency Inpe showed.

But in recent weeks, some signs have pointed to the Bolsonaro government taking some tentative steps toward combating the soaring destruction.
Persistent high deforestation also helps to feed forest fires, with the felled trees serving as tinder, according to the Amazon Environmental Research Institute.
30% smaller than last year. LIERS!
