Medan br\u00e4nderna forts\u00e4tter h\u00e4rja i Amazonas s\u00e5 har Greenpeace internationellt g\u00e5tt ut med en global <\/b>kampanj <\/b><\/a>som uppmanar de st\u00f6rsta internationella snabbmatskedjorna Burger King, McDonalds och KFC att v\u00e4gra ta emot varor som kan kopplas till den milj\u00f6f\u00f6rst\u00f6relse som sker i Brasilien. <\/b><\/h2>\n

Snabbmatskedjor \u00e4r en enorm global industri som har ett enormt ansvar. De kan inte forts\u00e4tta som vanligt medan v\u00e4rldens st\u00f6rsta regnskog br\u00e4nns ner f\u00f6r att g\u00f6da k\u00f6ttindustrin, s\u00e4ger Parul Sharma<\/b>, Sverigechef Greenpeace.<\/p>\n

N\u00e4ra 2,5 miljoner hektar mark – inklusive betydande regnskogsomr\u00e5den – br\u00e4ndes i brasilianska Amazonas under augusti enligt nya data publicerade av INPE den 3 september. [1] Antalet br\u00e4nder i Amazonas \u00f6kade med 111% sedan president Bolsonaros presidentskap b\u00f6rjade. [2]<\/p>\n

Snabbmatsf\u00f6retag \u00e4r stora anv\u00e4ndare av de produkter som driver p\u00e5 skogssk\u00f6vlingen i Brasilien<\/a> – framf\u00f6rallt n\u00f6tk\u00f6tt och soja (som anv\u00e4nds i djurfoder). [3] Samma f\u00f6retag bidrar ocks\u00e5 till f\u00f6rh\u00f6jd efterfr\u00e5gan genom att aggressivt marknadsf\u00f6ra k\u00f6ttprodukter p\u00e5 tillv\u00e4xtmarknader i utvecklingsl\u00e4nder runt om i v\u00e4rlden. [4] McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC och andra snabbmatsf\u00f6retag har idag policys p\u00e5 plats som i teorin ska hindra skogssk\u00f6vling men som vi visat inte klarar av dessa \u00e5taganden.<\/a><\/p>\n

Andra branscher har redan agerat. VF Corporation, som \u00e4ger av Timberland och The North Face, har meddelat att de stoppar sina ink\u00f6p av brasiliansk l\u00e4der tills \u201dde material som anv\u00e4nds i v\u00e5ra produkter inte bidrar till milj\u00f6skada i Brasilien.\u201d [5] Greenpeace f\u00f6rv\u00e4ntar sig \u00e4ven mer verklig handlingskraft fr\u00e5n stora investerare. Finansbolag som Nordea, Storebrand ASA och KLP-pension har redan meddelat att de b\u00f6rjat bevaka eller begr\u00e4nsa investeringar i Brasilien. [6]<\/p>\n

\u2013 Det h\u00e4r \u00e4r en kris. Vi kan inte skydda klimatet utan att skydda mer av Amazonas. Bolsonaro g\u00f6r expansion in i hittills or\u00f6rda omr\u00e5den lagligt – men det g\u00f6r det s\u00e5klart varken h\u00e5llbart eller r\u00e4ttvist. Vikten av att snarast st\u00e4rka urfolks r\u00e4ttigheter, h\u00f6rsamma forskningen och skapa verkligt skogsskydd kan inte nog understrykas. Internationella j\u00e4ttar, som Burger King, McDonald’s och KFC, m\u00e5ste ta sitt ansvar och pressa Bolsonaro f\u00f6r hans skadliga politik, inte tyst se p\u00e5 medan de tj\u00e4nar pengar p\u00e5 katastrofen, s\u00e4ger Lina Burnelius<\/b>, skogsexpert Greenpeace.<\/p>\n

P\u00e5 l\u00f6rdag 7 september,<\/b> under Brasiliens nationaldag, anordnar flera organisationer en demonstration mot Brasiliens<\/a> regering i Stockholm, d\u00e4r m\u00e4nniskor, efter tal fr\u00e5n bland andra Greenpeace, kommer att t\u00e5ga fr\u00e5n Odenplan till Brasiliens ambassad p\u00e5 Kungsgatan.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6rutom att kr\u00e4va \u00e5tg\u00e4rder fr\u00e5n politiker och f\u00f6retag, s\u00e5 kan \u00e4ven vi som individer minska det l\u00e5ngsiktiga trycket p\u00e5 Amazonas och andra hotade ekosystem genom att minska v\u00e5r k\u00f6ttkonsumtion.<\/p>\n
