Lula's Brazil: less deforestation, but more oil
Original: Lula's mixed environmental record has brought less deforestation but more oil
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's environmental record under his current term shows a clear split: deforestation in the Amazon has fallen sharply compared with the previous administration, while his government has simultaneously expanded oil production and approved new exploration projects. The contrast has drawn criticism from climate advocates who see the drilling push as undermining his rainforest gains.
Why now: The tension between Lula's climate credentials and his oil expansion policy is being debated internationally.
