The State of Pará reached, in June 2025, the lowest recorded area of the area covered by deforestation alerts since 2019. The survey considers exclusively the months of June. The study is done based on the evaluation and reference period of the deforestation monitoring project in the Legal Amazon – (Prodes).
111 km² of area were detected on alert, which represents a 41% reduction compared to the same month of 2024, when 187 km² were recorded, according to data from the Deter System, the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). The numbers represent an absolute decrease of 76 km².
Considering the accumulated 11 months, Pará also presented a significant drop in the area on alert, totaling 1,143 km², which represents 18% less compared to the same period of the previous year (1,398 km²). This is the lowest amount recorded for this interval since 2019 and represents a 65% reduction in relation to the peak observed in 2020 (3,232 km²).
Among the 15 municipalities considered critical in the state of Pará, the area on alert of June fell 47%, from 131.75 km² in 2024 to 70.33 km² in 2025. These municipalities were responsible for 63% of the total area on alert in the state in the month.
“Another expressive reduction shows that, with strategic planning and integrated actions, it is possible to protect our environmental heritage, reduce forest degradation and ensure a better future for next generations,” said Pará governor Helder Barbalho.
Raul Protázio, state secretary of Environment, Climate and Sustainability (Semas), said that the numbers are a reflection of environmental control done through supervision and monitoring in the state. “We will continue advancing with our actions and strengthening the presence of the Secretariat in the construction of this trajectory of environmental preservation in Pará and the Amazon,” he added.
Pará’s participation in the total warnings of the Legal Amazon also decreased. In June 2025, the state accounted for 24% of the area on alert, against 41% in the same month of 2024.
