Being Green - 15 May 2020

--:--
Brazil earlier this week deployed the military to the Amazon in a bid to halt illegal logging and mining activities in the rainforest. The development came just days after satellite data from its space research institute showed there has been a 55 per cent surge in deforestation in the first four months of 2020, in comparison to the same period last year. The rainforest is seen as vital to curbing climate change. In this week’s edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to Dr Erika Berenguer, a forest ecologist at both Oxford and Lancaster Universities, about the impact this might have, and if bringing in the army is the right way to deal with the situation.
