Brazilian
President Dilma Rousseff tried to create the illusion last week that she was
vetoing the very worst parts of Brazil's new Forest Code to protect the Amazon
rainforest. The reality, however, is entirely different.
On Monday, Dilma Rousseff's
administration finally released the text of the partial vetoes and moderations
and far from a straightforward veto, the text has taken some time to weed
through and figure out. And guess what? It's not good news.
Our analysis of the text shows that
Dilma has done nothing to strengthen the protection of the Amazon.
In fact, this is the latest blow for the Amazon from a government that is
systematically dismantling Brazil's environmental protection measures and comes
just weeks before Brazil will host the Rio+20 Earth Summit.
Here is the breakdown of what Dilma's
changes to the Forest Code actually mean in plain language.
