2 Min Read BRASILIA, Jan 27 (Reuters) - An area the size of Israel was deforested in the Amazon biome last year as destruction surged 21% in the region spanning nine countries that is home to the world’s largest rainforest, according to the Amazon Conservation organization. A first look at deforestation in the full year of 2020 shows that roughly 21,000 square kilometers (8,108 square miles) of old-growth forest was cut or burned down, about the size of New Jersey, the U.S.-based non-profit group found in its analysis of satellite data. “These numbers are just mind-blowing,” said Matt Finer, who leads the NGO’s Amazon monitoring project.
