Déforestation : Les ONG tirent la sonnette d’alarme à l’aube d’une nouvelle saison record d’incendies au Brésil

NGOs report a 17% increase in Amazon deforestation in the first half of 2021 and warn that the Brazilian Amazon may now emit more carbon than it sequesters. The statement criticizes France's passive approach and calls for binding legislation to prevent the import of soy and beef linked to deforestation, as well as the blocking of the EU-Mercosur trade agreement.

• Deforestation in the Amazon increased by 17% in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020, with current fire numbers already exceeding those of the same period last year.
• The Brazilian Amazon has reached a critical tipping point where it now emits more carbon than it sequesters, according to a study in Nature Climate Change.
• French imports of soy and beef contribute to the destruction of the Amazon and Cerrado ecosystems to create pastures and fields.
• Government-mandated scientific expertise suggests that the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement could increase deforestation in Mercosur countries by up to 25% per year for six years.
• The 2018 French National Strategy to combat imported deforestation is described as ineffective due to a lack of political will and binding measures.
