- Moran Professor of Conservation and Development, University of Cambridge
The EU have introduced a new regulation on the import of products linked to deforestation – but will this reduce deforestation globally?
Three reasons for failure, and four reasons to be hopeful.
Fires that burn the forest burn crops and pastures alike. But farmers in the eastern Amazon are left with few good options.
Jair Bolsonaro dice que las protecciones medioambientales entorpecen el desarrollo rural en Brasil. En realidad, las leyes que eviten la deforestación del Amazonas ayudan a los agricultores.
Brazil’s president-elect wants to roll back environmental laws, saying they hurt rural growth. But preventing Amazonian deforestation has actually made farmland more productive.
Brazil has been throwing money at Amazonian cattle farmers, hoping they’ll adopt ‘greener’ crops like fruit or corn. A new study shows why loans won’t fix the environmental issue presented by ranches.
