Weak policy oversight could be pushing Brazilian forests closer to a tipping point by Meghie Rodrigues on 28 December 2020 Between 2019 and 2020, deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon hit a 12-year high. Deforestation, coupled with climate change and fires, are pushing the Amazon ever closer to a rainforest-to-degraded savanna tipping point, say some scientists. On a broad spectrum, deforestation is putting Brazil’s energy production, food security, and economy as a whole at risk. Women and Indigenous people are essential actors in the discussion and implementation of sustainable development in Brazil, but remain underrepresented at policy- and decision-making levels. Home to more than 60% of the Amazon rainforest, the largest tropical forest in the world, Brazil is beyond rich in biodiversity and life. The country is also rife with deforestation, and violations of environmental laws and Indigenous people’s rights.
