The eradication of deforestation in Brazil by 2030 requires a series of measures, such as the effective implementation of the Forest Code, the promotion of traceability in supply chains, the control of wildfires, and the fight against organized crime in the Amazon. These initiatives are among the recommendations outlined in the publication “Brazil Without Deforestation: 12 Integrated Proposals for Conservation and Sustainable Development.”  

The new publication proposes six actions to eliminate illegal deforestation and six additional measures to discourage legal deforestation, presenting an integrated approach that considers the specific challenges of each scenario.  

The document also includes preventive actions and governance mechanisms involving states and municipalities, in line with the distinct dynamics of the Amazon and Cerrado regions. In the Amazon, for instance, deforestation is primarily illegal, driven by land grabbing, wildfires, and criminal activities. In the Cerrado, on the other hand, much of the deforestation occurs within the limits of the Forest Code, which allows the suppression of up to 80% of native vegetation on rural properties. These realities require tailored solutions adapted to each context.
