#Brazil's community conservation areas were built on a simple but revolutionary idea: protect the forest by protecting the people whose livelihoods and identities depend on it.

These areas link collective land rights, sustainable livelihoods, and environmental protection (1/2)

Gusnah lives near a nickel industrial park and used to run octopus collection operations until pollution from the industrial park destroyed the fisheries. Now, Gusnah and her sister wake up before dawn to collect plastic bottles from garbage bins, joining the ranks of waste pickers. (1/2)

O governo Lula e os líderes do setor enfrentam uma escolha: usar essas ferramentas para tornar as cadeias de fornecimento transparentes e sustentáveis — ou permitir que práticas ilegais continuem empurrando o país rumo a um colapso ecológico. 📖 Leia agora: cri.org/reports/ante...

O Brasil já desenvolveu poderosas ferramentas de dados que — se devidamente integradas — poderiam contribuir muito para eliminar o desmatamento e o trabalho forçado de sua cadeia da pecuária.
October 16, 2025 at 11:42 PM
Mesmo assim, curtumes brasileiros com fornecedores implicados em desmatamento e abusos trabalhistas exportam couro para fabricantes que integram as cadeias de fornecimento de grandes marcas globais de moda e calçados.
October 16, 2025 at 11:42 PM
Essa falta de monitoramento abrangente significa que o couro e a carne bovina do Brasil — com limitadas exceções — não podem ser considerados livres de desmatamento ilegal ou violações de direitos.
October 16, 2025 at 11:42 PM
Esses fazendeiros conseguem lucrar com essas práticas principalmente porque grandes frigoríficos e curtumes falham em monitorar dezenas de milhares de seus fornecedores indiretos.
