Marcio Astrini, executive secretary of the Climate Observatory, a coalition of environmental groups, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>It was the third-worst December on record for the eight-year-old DETER program, after 2017 and 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Deforestation in 2022 was also at or near record highs during the crucial dry-season months of August, September and October, when clear-cutting and fires often surge because of drier weather.<\/p>\n<p>Experts say the destruction is mainly driven by farms and land grabbers clearing the forest for cattle and crops.<\/p>\n<p>Lula presided over a sharp drop in deforestation when he previously led Brazil from 2003 to 2010.<\/p>\n<p>He has vowed to reboot Brazil&#8217;s environmental protection programs, fight for zero deforestation and ensure the South American giant stops being a &#8220;pariah&#8221;
