About this project

"The sharp increase in deforestation in the Amazon must be seen as a direct consequence of Bolsonaro's policy. It is pure poison for the Amazon," said Roberto Maldonado, Brazil desk officer at WWF Germany. "Bolsonaro is pursuing short-term economic interests here: And as long as global demand for feed soy, beef and dairy products increases, forests will continue to give way to pastureland."
Many European countries, including Germany, have a responsibility here, as they are the main buyers of these products. That's why WWF is demanding "that companies convert their supply chains to be deforestation-free" and that policymakers provide the framework for this in the form of an "effective deforestation-free supply chain law," Maldonado said.
