What did satellite observations show about deforestation in the Amazon?

It’s more than eight months since the Brazilian government announced a package of measures to combat deforestation, after satellite observations showed the rate of destruction in the Amazon was picking up again. So far, there’s been little evidence of a slowdown, despite a string of raids on illegal sawmills and moves to cut off credit to farmers operating outside the law.

The British usually expect one or two snowfalls each year but the amount of snow rarely affects everyday life. However, this week Britain has had the worst snow it has seen in around 18 years. Some places had more than 30cm in a day. The bad weather caused severe disruption. More than 3, 000 schools had to close as teachers and pupils were unable to get to school. Many people were unable to get to work and it is thought the cost of this lost labour is around ￡ 1 billion (10 billion yuan) to businesses and the economy.
