BRASILIA: Brazil's government on Monday unveiled how it plans to meet a pledge to eliminate deforestation in the Amazon by 2030, using strengthened law enforcement against environmental crimes and other measures in the world's largest tropical rainforest.
The Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Amazon sets a coordinated policy across more than a dozen ministries through the end of Lula's term in 2027. Degraded forests will be recovered and native vegetation increased through economic incentives for conservation and sustainable forest management, the plan says.
Financial intelligence can, for example, point to cash movements to pay for equipment such as chainsaws for logging or excavators for illegal wildcat gold mining.
