The pledge to end deforestation in the Amazon by 2030 that Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro made at COP 26 is worthless, forest experts say, unless he acts now to clamp down on his own Congress, which is currently passing laws that make it easier to destroy the forests.Two of Brazil’s foremost forest experts have a list of immediate actions that Bolsonaro must take to prove his signature on the forest agreement in Glasgow this week is not just a sham.“Of course we were delighted that the president signed the forest accord, but also surprised. It is a reversal of all his current policies,” said Ane Alencar, director of science at the Amazon Environment Research Institute (IPAM Amazonia). Speaking in Glasgow, she said that along with stopping the legislation that makes deforestation easier, the president needs to halt all illegal mining activity on land reserved for Indigenous people, and send in the army to capture criminals and punish them as an example to society.
