“Brazilian scientists sampled 800 trees across 63 Amazon locations”

“Our best model can exclude 92% of the Amazon's forest area, which amounts to 3 million square kilometers (1.2 million square miles).”

“The problem is that 8% is still too much. To give you an idea, that's roughly 240,000 square kilometers (93,000 square miles).”
