With world distracted, the Amazon rainforest continues to burn
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon hit a new high in the first four months of this year, with 1,202 square kilometres of forest wiped out.
That was a 55 per cent increase from the same period last year, and the highest figure for the first four months of the year since records began.
