A single pitch seems too much in 2019. The Amazon is the most biologically diverse and rich belt in the world. It is paramount to protect this heritage. They are clearing it mostly for cattle and illegal timber. This is a massive systemic failure to assign the correct value to this land and to have legal systems capable of protecting it.

It's additional GHG as they transport the wood. Some of that wood will end up being burnt, adding more GHGs. That's not to say anyone outside the Amazon is entitled to it, but it's not just "not so bad", it actually is bad.
