Mighty Earth pede revogação imediata da lei que ameaça a Moratória da Soja na Amazônia

Mighty Earth argues that a new law in Mato Grosso, Brazil, which penalizes companies participating in the Soy Moratorium by restricting tax benefits, undermines efforts to prevent deforestation in the Amazon and Cerrado. The organization highlights that the Soy Moratorium, established in 2006, contributed to a 69% reduction in deforestation across 76 monitored municipalities between 2009 and 2022. The statement warns that this legislative move threatens corporate deforestation-free commitments and conflicts with international regulations like the EUDR.

• A law approved by the government of Mato Grosso restricts tax benefits for companies that are signatories to the Soy Moratorium, which Mighty Earth views as a risk to Amazon conservation and a setback that uses public economic power to weaken zero-deforestation corporate commitments.
• The Soy Moratorium, a voluntary agreement since 2006 where major traders agree not to buy soy from areas deforested after 2008, has been highly effective; between 2009 and 2022, deforestation fell by 69% in the 76 municipalities covering 98% of Amazon soy production.
• The weakening of the Soy Moratorium creates uncertainty regarding Brazilian agricultural environmental commitments and conflicts with international standards such as the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
• Despite the Moratorium, soy and cattle ranching remain primary drivers of deforestation; a March 2024 report by Mighty Earth linked 30,031 hectares of Amazon deforestation between September and December 2023 to production from large global traders.
