Rhett Butler - Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon continues to rise, according to data from Brazil’s national space research institute INPE.
We study the effectiveness of three regulatory policies implemented by Brazil in reducing this pressure: blacklisting of municipalities, the Soy Moratorium, and conservation zones. We use a triple difference approach that combines international agricultural commodity prices with the policies across three ...
we would not be able to report the ASM outcomes, which, by virtue of its pioneering status, is a natural benchmark of future zero-deforestation policies in Brazil’s soybean supply chain. For this reason, we exclude the ASM from the baseline by not imposing land restrictions in the Amazon...
The conversion of tropical forests in the Amazon region for agriculture and other land uses is associated with health risks linked, for example, to air and water pollution from forest fires and agrochemical use. Several conservation policies introduced in the 2000s aimed at reducing deforestation in...
New data from INPE, the National Institute for Space Research, shows a significant rise in deforestation over the last year, which many attribute to Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro's right-wing policies. The rainforest lost 3,769 square miles of its vegetation between August 2018 and July ...
Last month, Bolsonaro deployed the military to protect the Amazon region and broadly banned most outdoor fires, repeating policies enacted annually since 2019 that have failed to reduce deforestation or fires. A Reuters investigation earlier this month fou...
Between the year 2004-2012 Brazil has been tackling climate change by reduced deforestation. But in recent years, in addition to newly elected President Bolsonaro of Brazil, deforestation policies have been relaxed, allowing land to be cleared at alarming rate.With better policies limiting deforestatio...
Brazil has been considered to be a global example in terms of policies to reduce CO2 emissions (Nepstad et al., 2014), being recognized for its programmes, agreements and public policies to solidly and consistently reduce deforestation, particularly in the tropical forests of the Amazon region (...
Conditions of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon are summarized. The objective is to show how government policies on deforestation affect the region. The situation is one of conflicting government policies. The Brazilian Amazon Basin provides 30% of the worlds tropical forests and 58% of Brazils...
