Only 2019, also under Bolsonaro\u2019s government, had a higher deforestation rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This represents an 81 percent increase in deforestation in the Amazon for August compared to the same period last year. On average, the deforestation rate in the Amazon increased by 52 percent during the years Bolsonaro has been in power.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cristiane Mazzetti, Senior Amazon Campaigner for Greenpeace Brazil, said: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDeforestation in the Amazon has skyrocketed in recent years, as the current government enabled illegal activities and emboldened criminals. Although expected, the destruction we are seeing in recent months is very concerning. Just in the seven first days of September, the number of fires registered in the Amazon have surpassed the entire month of September last year. We are going back to an old fashioned past, to a project that is based on death and destruction that must be stopped and reverted immediately.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dismantling of environmental policies and slashing of environmental agencies\u2019 budgets has pushed Amazon deforestation to extreme levels. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cimi.org.br\/2022\/08\/cimi-violence-against-indigenous-peoples-report-2021\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Indigenist Missionary Council\u2019s (CIMI) annual report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in 2021, there were three times more invasions of Indigenous lands compared to 2018, and 176 Indigenous Peoples were murdered last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Diana Ruiz, Forests Campaign Head at Greenpeace USA, said: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe ignition switch has been set on the world\u2019s largest rainforest \u2014 nearly 17,000 fires were recorded in the first week of September. These surges are no accident \u2014 these fires are a clear indicator that intentional deforestation is underway.
