Brazil & Southern Cone - September 2021
Introduction
September usually marks the peak of the fire season in the Brazilian Amazon, with destructive blazes often garnering international headlines. This has not been the case so much this year, with forest loss in Brazil actually on track to diminish compared with last year – but this small improvement would likely be reversed if a package of bills currently under discussion in congress, which are slammed as environmentally dangerous, advance. The first article in this edition of the Latin American Regional Report: Brazil & Southern Cone looks at some of these different bills, their potential repercussions on environmental conservation and indigenous rights, and efforts from Brazil’s indigenous peoples to block the bills’ progression and defend their rights.
