The goal for Amazonia is to reduce them by 80 per cent in 2020, compared to the average between 1996 and 2005: for the Cerrado, the reduction is set at 40 per cent compared to the average emissions from 1999 to 2008. This implies that the annual rate of deforestation in Amazonia should be less than 400,000 hectares by 2020. More recently, Brazil has provided a vision of the importance of continuing to tackle deforestation by including a specific goal of achieving zero deforestation by 2030 in its Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Agreement. In 2004, gross deforestation in Legal Amazonia was 2,777,500 hectares, the second highest since 1995, when it reached 2,905,900 hectares. Fortunately, Brazil has an advanced forest monitoring system that has enabled it to have consistent and verifiable deforestation estimates for the entire Legal Amazonia since 1988.
