根据MapBiomas的监测数据，巴西亚马逊地区2025年的森林火灾燃烧面积创造了自1985年以来的最低记录[1]。今年该地区火灾面积仅为310万公顷[1]，相比2024年创纪录的1580万公顷大幅下降，降幅达到了31%[1]。2025年也是41年来亚马逊地区火灾数量最少的一年[1]。
巴西全国范围内的情况同样改善。2025年全国燃烧面积为1270万公顷[1]，远低于2024年的3000万公顷[1]。
MapBiomas研究员维拉·阿鲁达对这一进展作出评价，认为"这31%的下降是积极信号，但还不足以得出这是既定趋势的结论"[1]。
这一成果与总统卢拉的政策目标相符。卢拉在2023年1月1日就职第一天宣示："我们的目标是实现亚马逊零砍伐"[1]。
The Amazon region in Brazil experienced a dramatic reduction in fire-affected territory during 2025, with burned areas measuring 3.1 million hectares according to MapBiomas monitoring data [1]. This represents a steep decline from 2024's record 15.8 million hectares and marks the smallest burned area since MapBiomas began tracking the region in 1985 [1].
The improvement extends beyond the Amazon to Brazil's broader landscape. Nationally, 12.7 million hectares burned in 2025, a substantial drop from 30 million hectares in 2024 [1]. The number of fires recorded in 2025 also reached its lowest level in 41 years [1], and the Amazon fire decline represents a 31 percent decrease compared to historical averages [1].
Vera Arruda, a MapBiomas researcher, cautioned against drawing premature conclusions about the trend, stating that "this 31 percent decline is a positive signal, but it is not yet sufficient to conclude that this is an established trend" [1]. The significant reduction aligns with commitments made by President Lula, who declared on his first day in office on January 1, 2023, that "our goal is to achieve zero deforestation in the Amazon" [1].
The 2024 fire season had presented a starkly different picture, with the Amazon experiencing its most severe forest fires in more than two decades [1].
