Statistics made available in January 2024 show that while deforestation in the Amazon fell by half in 2023, it increased by 43% in the Cerrado, the Brazilian savanna. A research group at the State University of Campinas's Institute of Biology (IB-UNICAMP) in Brazil dedicated to ecological studies on the Cerrado has already highlighted the urgency of combating destruction of the biome. However, it is not enough to defend what remains: restoration is also needed.
