At #COP30, Trase’s André Vasconcelos shared a clear message:

“When there is political will, when there is determination to address deforestation, it is possible.” 👊

He highlighted DeDuce data showing how markets drive Amazon #deforestation and why targeted action matters. 🌳

The three largest traders, JBS, Marfrig and Minerva increased exports by around 43% in 2015–2023, while their combined deforestation exposure rose 44%. 🔗https://trase.earth/insights/brazilian-beef-exports-and-deforestation-2025

Most of the #deforestation tends to be concentrated in a small number of municipalities. Only 61 municipalities in #Brazil accounted for 50% of deforestation for cattle pasture in 2023. Focusing action on these hotspots could significantly reduce deforestation and conversion.

📍Location of physical assets is vital for companies & financial institutions managing #ESG risks in their operations. Our new maps show the location, ownership & capacity of Brazil's cattle slaughterhouses, Indonesian palm oil mills & cocoa cooperatives in Côte d'Ivoire⬇️

⚠️Atlantic Forest is the most degraded biome in Brazil as agriculture continues to drive deforestation. 21% of soybeans sold by Brazil in 2022 originated here, new Trase data finds. With COP30 coming, Brazil needs to strengthen protection of this precious biome⬇️

🔎Trase’s new report, commissioned by @clientearth.bsky.social, shows that publicly available geospatial data is a cost-effective resource to credibly assess risks of non-compliance with the #EUDR’s deforestation-free and legality requirements⬇️

⚠️To translate the Kunming-Montreal mechanisms into action, particularly to monitor & respond to #biodiversity impacts driven by consumption and trade, the GEIC indicator is valuable. Its absence from the CBD risks weakening the frameworks to guide international progress.

🌳Indonesia’s forest loss dropped slightly in 2024 compared to 2023, according to @worldresources.bsky.social's report.
🔥However, past major fires underline the vulnerability of Indonesian forests to #climate extremes, Adelina Chandra told @jakpost.bsky.social.

⚠️We welcome the news that the EU has reached agreement on #EUDR country risk benchmarking classifications. However, we remain concerned that the chosen methodology has led to country rankings which do not accurately reflect the #deforestation and legal risks in areas of commodity production.
May 23, 2025 at 11:34 AM
🌳The latest Global Forest Watch data shows that 2024 was the highest year for tropical primary forest loss in at least two decades. Governments, businesses and financial institutions must take this as their cue to drive systemic change⬇️

🔎Earlier, analysis of the production impacts of agricultural commodities used only national data that failed to cover differences across subnational regions. In 2015, @sei.org partnered with @globalcanopy.org to overcome these limitations & developed Trase.
