  • Brazilian Amazon states are leading an offensive against environmental regulations in the Amazon and beyond. 
  • The movement gained momentum in October when Brazil’s granary, Mato Grosso state, approved a bill undermining a voluntary agreement to protect the Amazon from soy expansion. 
  • Before Mato Grosso, other Amazon states like Acre and Rondônia had already approved bills reducing protected areas and weakening the fight against illegal mining. 
  • With its economy highly reliant on agribusiness, Mato Grosso is considered a successful model for other parts of the Amazon.
