Brazil has established itself as one of the world leaders in environmental preservation, with approximately 60% of its territory covered by native vegetation, according to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). This proportion is almost three times higher than the world average, placing the country in the global spotlight.  

According to a statement released by the Secretariat for Economic Policy (SPE), Brazil is responsible for around 12% of the world's native vegetation, second only to Russia. In addition, the country is among the lowest emitters of CO2 per capita, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and the fight against climate change.  

The data collected by SPE also shows that, even with intense agricultural production, Brazil maintains high levels of preservation. Of the 30% of the country's territory used by agriculture, a large part is pastureland that can be converted to agricultural use without the need for additional deforestation.  

The note emphasizes that the high levels of preservation are the result of robust public policies, such as the Brazilian Forest Code, considered one of the most modern in the world. The country presents itself as a global example, reinforcing its position as one of the greatest defenders of the environment and sustainability.
