Brazil's National Institute for Space Research says deforestation in Brazil increased by almost 300 percent last month compared to the previous year.
Around 32-hundred square kilometers of the Amazon rainforest was destroyed in July - an area five times bigger than Seoul.
It's also an eighty-eight percent increase from the deforestation of the previous month.
Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro claims the research is inaccurate and damaging to Brazil's image.
