Brazil's vice president-elect called Monday for the current administration to provide data on deforestation levels in the Amazon.
Geraldo Alckmin, who is handling the transition between the administration of incoming President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro's government, announced that he had requested the full reports on the Amazon rainforest’s deforestation for the last year.
"We requested that the complete reports of the data from Prodes Amazonia and Prodes Cerrado from the period of August 2021 to July 2022 be sent so that we can analyze the information they contain and take the necessary measures," said Alckmin.
Prodes is a satellite system used by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) to observe and record deforestation in the Amazon region.
