The country also established the <span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\"><span style=\"color:red;\"><span style=\"color:red;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.treehugger.com\/files\/2008\/08\/brazil-establishes-the-amazon-fund-to-preserve-rainforest.php\"><span style=\"color:red;\"><span style=\"color:red;\">Amazon Fund<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span> to solicit international monetary donations to help fund anti-deforestation efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;\" lang=\"EN-US\">Now Brazil has announced that it has a plan to reduce deforestation by 70%, or about 6,000 square km per year. According to Environment Minister Carlos Minc, the plan would have the following effect:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;\" lang=\"EN-US\">Just in terms of avoided deforestation in the Amazon, the plan foresees a reduction of 4.8 bn tons of carbon dioxide that won\u2019t be emitted up to 2018 \u2013 which is more than the reduction efforts fixed by all rich countries. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;\" lang=\"EN-US\"><!--[if gte vml 1]&gt;                    &lt;![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--><!--more--><!--[endif]--><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;\" lang=\"EN-US\">Slowing Deforestation isn\u2019t Enough, it\u2019s Got to Stop!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;\" lang=\"EN-US\">First of all, good on Brazil for doing something to slow deforestation, but the way in which its being presented is misleading at first read: Under this plan deforestation will still be happening, just at a slower rate. Large swaths of forest will still be felled each year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;\" lang=\"EN-US\">The original BBC article also quoted a Brazilian Greenpeace representative, who summed up well Brazil\u2019s actions:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana;\" lang=\"EN-US\">The biggest Brazilian contribution to the fight against climate change is to bring deforestation to an end in the Amazon.
