The article explains how the deforestation of the amazon is based on illegal criminal activity. Those responsible for deforestation are have killed already over 300 people in the past decade. As stated in the article regarding this criminal activity, “those responsible were engaged in illegal deforestation and saw their victims as obstacles”.
Regarding Bolsonaro’s approach and his ‘attacks’ on environmental agencies, “The situation has got worse, there is a sort of encouragement to people to enter, to invade.”
This article further informed me on the situation going on the Amazon. It helped me comprehend what kind of criminal activity is going on: land grabbing, illegal mining and deforestation. I also learned that these criminals just kill their victims or ‘obstacles’ rather than coming to an agreement or understanding.
