This is a pretty big claim, or that NGOs cut down 70% of the land they buy. Do you have any links that contain news or evidence that this practice is widespread

This is a pretty big claim, or that NGOs cut down 70% of the land they buy. Do you have any links that contain news or evidence that this practice is widespread and the allowance change ?

This is a conspiracy theory supported by Bolsonaro and his supporters. In reality NGOs active in the Amazon are more likely to live under death threats and barely have any funding at all for even basic activities.

  As you put looks like the Amazon before was well protected. Just look the data https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_of_the_Amazon_rainforest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_of_the_Amazon_ra... "Loss Rate". I do believe that there are good and bad NGOs acting there. There are even registered cases https://www.dw.com/pt-br/membros-de-ong-s%C3%A3o-presos-na-amaz%C3%B4nia/a-51430158 https://www.dw.com/pt-br/membros-de-ong-s%C3%A3o-presos-na-a... I couldn't find the text in German or English, but "Deutsche Welle" isn't exactly pro-bolsonaro. EDIT, found one article from "The Guardian" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/26/brazil-police-raid-ngo-office-amazon-wildfires https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/26/brazil-police-...

    They reported the arrest, they didn't say that it was justified. The volunteers were released and cleared some time after that, which you may also remember. Brazilian police is shockingly corrupt and largely aligned with the equally corrupt Bolsonaro government and this ridiculous arrest was an attempt to sell a narrative.

      Corrupt Bolsonaro government? Probably you are mixing up with Lula?

    Well, they're released because there were no proof. https://educacao.uol.com.br/videos/?id=brigadistas-voluntarios-sao-soltos-em-santarem-no-pa-04024C193872C8B96326 https://educacao.uol.com.br/videos/?id=brigadistas-voluntari...
