Are they allowing the Amazon rainforest to reconstitute itself? Is this a net gain or is the total area of rainforest still shrinking?

Things getting worse a bit more slowly is not that uplifting tbh.

It's a step in the right direction, at least

No it's a step in the wrong direction at a slower speed

[–] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Reducing deforestation speed is the right direction. The wrong direction would be increasing it.

[–] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

Reducing speed doesn't change the direction, heading way other way does, but that's just semantic so have a nice day

If everything is not PERFECT it's HORRIBLE and there's NO POINT in even TRYING

I see this sort of thing on social media so often. Making good the enemy of perfect. It drives me crazy. It's so defeatist.

Stop putting words in my mouth.

Just said we're still heading in the wrong direction braking is nice but not the same as turning the wheel and driving in the right direction.

We NEED to TRY HARDER and don't stop because hey guess they done something already

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Ok fair enough. I think it's important to encourage change by acknowledging that we're now braking instead of accelerating though. There's no incentive to change if people give you no active feedback when you make no change, but give you negative feedback when you change something for the better because now it's in the news.
