      Rest easy, comrade. The authors also lay out the solution:

      Researchers say political stability in rainforest countries plays a major role in ensuring forest protection, which could go a long way towards increasing forest resilience to catastrophic outcomes.

      Or, in lay terms, the solution is fully automated gay forest communism. If you quietly sing that before bedtime, it’s basically a lullaby.

    Interesting to see that deforestation has dropped by 66% recently and that Lula plans to stop it completely by 2030. I know he’s not perfect (thanks to Brazilian comrades on here). But if he can wrap the Brazilian economy tighter into BRICS+ before the next election/coup, there might be a real chance of embedding that kind of sustainability.
