Brazil Agribusiness Joins With NGOs To Call For Action On Amazon
Brazil’s leading meat export industry group and other agribusiness associations on Friday joined with nongovernment organisations (NGOs) to call for an end to deforestation on public lands, demanding government action as the Amazon rainforest burns.
Meat group Abiec and NGOs Imazon and IPAM are among the 11 Brazilian groups signing on to a campaign that also calls for protected conservation areas in the country to be maintained and the creation of a justice ministry task force to resolve conflicts over public land, according to a statement from the signatories.
The campaign also called for another task force to promote conservation and sustainable development of public forests where it is not already being done.
The protection of the Amazon, which absorbs vast amounts of greenhouse gas that causes global warming, is seen as vital to the fight against climate change. Roughly 60% of the Amazon lies in Brazil.
