Could a Biden administration help save the Amazon rainforest? Last year, Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research recorded 2.4 million acres deforested in the Amazon—an almost 30% increase in 2018, the year before far-right President Jair Bolsonaro took office, and 2020 has seen record numbers of forest fires. The president simultaneously rejects any blame for the blazes, and argues that the Amazon is a resource the country can and should make money from in order to develop its economy. His critics say that belief has led to a culture of impunity for farmers and other land grabbers who set fires to clear the trees, writes Ciara Nugent. But environmentalists hope the change of administration in the U.S. may play a role in halting deforestation in the Amazon, right when scientists say it is approaching a tipping point from which it can never recover. (The fires in August 2019 were not limited to private land but also broke out in protected areas, including the Jacundá National Forest in Rondônia, as this photograph shows.) The loss of Bolsonaro’s hero and ally Donald Trump—who praised his administration’s handling of the Amazon—combined with possible economic consequences for Brazil’s business community will add to international pressure and, maybe, move the needle.
