  4. "Agribusiness remains the primary driver of invasions of Indigenous lands in Brazil. Cattle ranching accounts for more than half of the total area of Indigenous lands invaded by the sector, followed by soy production, revealing the direct link between the international commodities trade, deforestation, and human rights violations. In 2024, conflicts related to territorial rights totaled 154 cases across 114 Indigenous Lands in 19 states, while land invasions, illegal exploitation of natural resources, and other forms of damage affected 159 Indigenous Lands in 21 states across the country"

  6. "Brazil’s Supreme Court is set to weigh a series of cases in the coming days that could reshape protections for the Amazon rainforest and the Indigenous communities

    The cases span from Indigenous land rights, recent rollbacks on environmental safeguards and infrastructure projects. Despite their differences, they share a common path to the court.

    In recent years, a mostly conservative Congress approved measures that environmentalists say violate constitutional rights. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, whose administration has pursued a more environmentally focused agenda, vetoed some measures outright and parts of others.

    But lawmakers overrode those objections, and the disputes ultimately reached the Supreme Court, which environmental advocates increasingly view as the last line of defense against the weakening of environmental protections in Brazil."

  17. :alerta: "In a new study Stockholm University researchers finding six instances where exposure to the pesticide [fluazinam] led to statistically significant impacts on brain development."

    "The study authors write that continued use of this pesticide since 2008 may have resulted in “unnecessary and potentially harmful human exposure”. Fluazinam has been detected at children’s playgrounds in the South Tirol region of Italy, where the pesticide is used on nearby farms to treat apple trees."

    Fluazinam is a contact fungicide and acaricide widely used in Brazilian agriculture.

  20. "The efforts of Lula’s government to combat illegal logging have cut deforestation in the Amazon by half. A raft of vengeful new bills from Brazil’s formidable agribusiness lobby would dismantle this successful crackdown."

    "The sheer scale of the agri-lobby’s legal blitzkrieg can be glimpsed in the laws on offer. These include proposals to slash half a million hectares from the Jamanxim ecological reserve in the Amazon; grant the Ministry of Agriculture control over which animals make the endangered species list; strip protections from 40 percent of forested areas in the state of Pará and from non-forested areas of native vegetation across the country; restrict the government’s ability to monitor criminal risks in rural financing; and, most significantly, to neuter Brazil’s environmental monitoring agency, the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), by hampering its ability to combat illegal deforestation using satellite imagery."
