For five days, between September 13 and 17, the Amaz\u00f4nia em Chamas Alliance confirmed the warning \u2014 and concern \u2014 of many researchers: The southern Amazon, the largest and most conserved area in the forest, is the new frontier of deforestation. \u201cThis region stands out for the rapid advance of deforestation, which is increasingly entering into well-preserved territories that are vital to mitigate the climate crisis and prevent the collapse of biodiversity on the planet,\u201d says Cristiane Mazzetti, of Greenpeace, an organization that takes part in the alliance alongside Amazon Watch and the Climate Observatory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers, journalists and three Brazilian artists participated in the expedition \u2014 Rafael Cardoso (actor), Giovanna Lancellotti (actress) and Vit\u00e3o (singer and composer). The group departed from Porto Velho, the second municipality in the number of fires \u2014 with 2,700 heat spots, from January 1st to September 18, according to data from INPE (National Institute for Space Research) \u2014 for L\u00e1brea, the country’s record holder on forest fires, with 2,946 outbreaks in the same period. After flying over the Jacare\u00faba Indigenous Land (AM) and the Mapinguari National Park (AM and RO), it was possible to identify extensive deforested areas, ranging from 1,550 to 2,450 hectares, equivalent to 2,012 and 3,181 soccer fields respectively, and which are among the five largest deforested areas ever recorded in the state of Amazonas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the Bolsonaro administration, Amazonas surpassed Rond\u00f4nia as the third state with the worst level of deforestation, according to Inpe’s Prodes system. \u201cWe witnessed large-scale forest destruction, including large deforestation polygons, active heat spots and illegal airstrips. In Porto Velho, we caught sight of large areas for the cultivation of grains, an activity that is becoming increasingly consolidated in northern Rond\u00f4nia, and has been recently introduced in southern Amazonas, with soybean planting in Humait\u00e1,\u201d says Mazzetti, who has been tracking these activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

On land, the expedition passed through Candeias do Jamari, the second most deforested municipality in Rond\u00f4nia, according to data of August 2020 and July 2021, only surpassed by Porto Velho. There, the group found sawmills and multiple trucks loaded with giant tree logs, as well as cattle grazing near newly burned areas. \u201cWe saw all the stages of the deforestation process one after the other: The extraction of high-value timber, the burning of vegetation to grow pasture, and cattle herds occupying areas that until recently were covered by forest,\u201d says R\u00f4mulo Batista, spokesperson for the Greenpeace Brazil Amazon campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this region, there are two Conservation Units (UCs) \u2014 the Flona Jacund\u00e1 and the Samuel Ecological Station \u2014 which have already registered invasions. According to specialists, the approval of the bill that reduced by 80% the limits of the Jaci-Paran\u00e1 extractive reserve (Resex) by Governor Marcos Rocha, which benefited invaders, may have further driven invasions to the UCs. The Resex was the Conservation Unit that most suffered from fires in Rond\u00f4nia this year, and the situation is expected to become even more dramatic in the coming months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ane Alencar, science director at the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM), was part of the group and was astounded by the indiscriminate occupation of public lands. \u201cDeforesting large areas requires a lot of investment in equipment and logistics, which goes to show that invaders are going all out onto public lands and occupying them in an indiscriminate and highly capitalized way,\u201d she observes. According to the researcher, one of the most notable specialists in the dynamics of forest fires in the country, another issue that stands out is that some areas which were deforested in previous years are abandoned, with no signs of agricultural activities being carried out. \u201cIn other words, they are using deforestation to speculate on public land.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Stela Herschmann, climate policy specialist at the Climate Observatory, also accompanied the expedition and noted the impact of the loss of forest. \u201cWhile other nations use less carbon to develop themselves, Brazil goes against the grain, betting on deforestation, which is its main source of greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation, fires, land grabbing and mining take place illegally, neither boosting development on the region nor distributing wealth to the peoples of the forest. We are literally burning our future in exchange for nothing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
