Last I heard the largest export for Brazil is their meat. The largest producer of meat is in fact headquartered and based out of Brazil — JBS, SA.
They are a very corrupt entity [1,2,3] and likely have many Brazilian politicians in their pocket/on payroll. The list of controversies this company has would put Goldman Sachs to shame [4]. So it would not surprise me if the government was blind to the destruction of Amazon Rainforest.
At this point, I am okay with the world taking ownership of the Amazon Rainforest and delegating protection to the natives that live in the Amazon Rainforest.
Fuck JBS. Fuck the corrupt Brazilian government.
