摘要贾尔·博尔索纳罗(巴西新任总统)和“乡下人”(大土地所有者及其代表)发起了一系列威胁亚马逊地区环境和传统民族以及全球气候的措施。这些措施包括削弱该国的环境机构和森林法规，赦免砍伐森林，批准有害的农用化学品，减少保护区，否认人为气候变化的存在。这些措施本身及其对有罪不罚的预期都刺激了更多的森林砍伐，这加剧了气候变化，并加剧了与传统民族的土地冲突。进口巴西牛肉、大豆和矿物的国家和公司正在刺激这些影响。
Summary Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil’s new president) and “ruralists” (large landholders and their representatives) have initiated a series of measures that threaten Amazonia’s environment and traditional peoples, as well as global climate. These include weakening the country’s environmental agencies and forest code, granting amnesty to deforestation, approving harmful agrochemicals, reducing protected areas, and denying the existence of anthropogenic climate change. Both the measures themselves and the expectation of impunity they encourage have spurred increased deforestation, which contributes to climate change and to land conflicts with traditional peoples. Countries and companies that import Brazilian beef, soy and minerals are stimulating these impacts.
