巴西终止了为期20年的暂停大豆森林砍伐,这有可能实现亚马逊保护目标。
Brazil ends 20-year soy deforestation moratorium, risking Amazon protection goals.
巴西大豆业以ABIOVE为代表, 以马托格罗索(Mato Grosso)减税为例, 终止了为期20年的自愿暂停购买亚马孙地区自2008年7月清理后种植的大豆。
Brazil’s soy industry, represented by ABIOVE, has ended its 20-year voluntary moratorium on purchasing soy grown on Amazon land cleared after July 2008, citing the loss of tax incentives in Mato Grosso.
这项行动自2026年1月1日起生效,破坏了遏制砍伐森林的努力,因为尽管大豆产量不断增长,但该协定在2009年至2022年期间帮助将森林损失减少了69%。
The move, effective January 1, 2026, undermines efforts to curb deforestation, as the agreement had helped reduce forest loss by 69% between 2009 and 2022 despite rising soy production.
尽管企业因从非法砍伐的土地购买大豆仍面临法律处罚,环保人士警告称,撤军削弱了保障措施,并威胁到卢拉总统2030年承诺结束亚马逊森林砍伐的承诺。
While companies still face legal penalties for buying soy from illegally deforested land, environmentalists warn the withdrawal weakens safeguards and threatens President Lula’s 2030 pledge to end Amazon deforestation.
