The new government with a focus on zero tolerance toward deforestation was great news for all our projects in Brazil during 2022. After the elections, the Amazon Fund and PPCDAM (Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Legal Amazon) were re-established. In January 2023 the deforestation alerts from DETER in the Amazon decreased 61% compared to January 2022, which is fantastic news! With the reimplementation of the policies and new financial incentives, deforestation rates in the Apuí region have the potential to decrease substantially in the coming years.
