Amazon fires plunge to record lows in 2025, with just 3.1 million hectares burned — the smallest area since 1985 — a major win for President Lula’s environmental pledges after a devastating 2024. Experts hail the drop as proof that fire reduction is achievable, but warn against complacency, as climate patterns like El Niño could reverse progress. Nationwide, Brazil also saw a sharp decline in burned land, down to 12.7 million hectares from 30 million — partly due to cooler La Niña conditions — yet fire risks remain. The Amazon’s survival hinges on sustained conservation efforts, even as political decisions like oil exploration continue to draw environmental concern.
