"I'm aware of the scope of the challenge of ending deforestation by 2030," said Brazil's leftist president,"but this is a challenge we're determined to achieve."Leftist Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Monday unveiled his administration's plan to halt deforestation of the Amazon rainforest by 2030.
"I'm committed to resuming Brazil's global leadership in mitigating climate change and controlling deforestation," Lula said in a speech marking the launch of the plan."Brazil will once again become a global reference in sustainability." The Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Amazon establishes"a coordinated policy across more than a dozen ministries through the end of Lula's term in 2027,".
Among the actions to be taken, authorities will cross-check information from the financial system with the rural registry and other databases and satellite images to root out illegal loggers and cattle ranching. Financial intelligence can, for example, point to cash movements to pay for equipment such as chainsaws for logging or excavators for illegal wildcat gold mining.
