The sky in Sao Paolo, Brazil, went dark Monday due to the smoke carried in from nearly 1,700 miles away

According to Global News meteorologist Ross Hull, a few factors came together at "just the right moment" to place Sao Paulo under a shroud of darkness.

The rainforest is burning amid increasing deforestation by farmers and ranchers.

Brazil's space research agency says fires in the Amazon rose 83% amid deforestation.

The Amazon has been burning for weeks amid increasing deforestation. The intense smoke was detected by NASA and plunged São Paulo into darkness on Monday.

A smoke-fuelled daytime blackout in Sao Paulo prompts calls for more action against forest fires.

Brazilian states containing the country's Amazon rainforest said they want to negotiate directly with European nations who fund projects to curb deforestation after changes proposed by the federal government led Norway and Germany to suspend donations.

Peru is home to the headwaters of the Amazon, as well as one of the best-protected and most biodiverse swathes of rainforest.

Brazil's backsliding on Amazon conservation under right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro and a likely Peronist return to power in Argentina could delay or even derail ratification of an EU-Mercosur trade agreement that took two decades to negotiate.

Over the last decade, Norway has donated more than $1.2bn to the Amazon Fund, which protects the Brazilian rainforest.

Deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon increased 278 percent year-over-year in July, according to official data released Tuesday by a government institute embroiled in a row with President Jair Bolsonaro over the scale of the problem.

This is with reference to the Editorial, “Logged out” (August 1). The size of untouched Amazon forest inside Brazil is larger than the entire territory of India. I am certain there is understanding wh

Ricardo Galvao leaves post after right-wing Jair Bolsonaro criticised data showing accelerated Amazon deforestation.

The head of Brazil's space research agency Ricardo Galvao is set to leave his job following a public dispute with President Jair Bolsonaro over deforestation statistics, a spokesperson for the science ministry said on Friday.

President Jair Bolsonaro has said he suspects that agency officials had manipulated figures to make his administration look bad

It’s the stuff of nightmares.

Brazil must recognise that the Amazon rainforest is a universal treasure

In July, the total amount of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest broke its previous one-month record, according to data from Brazilian satellites. About three football fields' worth of rainforest per minute are being lost, primarily to infrastructure proje…

Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro on Monday said there was no evidence an indigenous leader, whose death was decried by U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet, was killed by wildcat miners said to have invaded protected tribal lands.

Members of a remote village have fled and there are fears of further violence.
