Izibalo ezintsha ezivela kuhulumeni waseBrazil ziphakamisa lokho ukugawulwa kwemithi ngokungemthetho kuthathe izihlahla eziningi yehlathi lase-Amazon kunangaphambili.
Imininingwane yesathelayithi evela ku-National Institute for Space Research of Brazil (INPE) ikhombisa ukuthi, kusukela ngo-Agasti 2015 kuya kuJuni 2016, Amakhilomitha-skwele angama-7.989 ehlathi ubhujisiwe. Ngonyaka odlule lesi sibalo besingamakhilomitha-skwele angu-6.207 XNUMX.
Ngenkathi imele i- ukwanda kwezinga lokugawulwa kwamahlathi Kumaphesenti angama-29, kusukela kumaphesenti angama-24 ngonyaka owedlule, kusekude kunamanani atholakele ngezinsuku zika-2004. Kwabe sekungamakhilomitha-skwele angama-23.103 kuya kuma-24.398 km2 wehlathi agawulwa.
Isikhathi esithile impela, IBrazil ibe yisibonelo sesenzo kahulumeni ekongweni kwehlathi. Osekushintshile ngukuthi ukuwohloka komnotho kushaye izwe lonke, kubalwa nophiko lwezemvelo, IBAMA. Amaphesenti angama-30 okuxhaswa ngemali okuholele ekusebenzeni okungasebenzi kahle.
Ukongiwa kwe-Amazon into ebaluleke kakhulu eBrazil. Ukugawulwa kwamahlathi kubeka engcupheni engaphezu kwengxenye yazo zonke izinhlobo zezinto eziphilayo ehlathini. Iphinde ilimaze amaqembu omdabu acishe abe yi-180 ahlala ngaphakathi nase-Amazon. Kuyasiza futhi izwe ukuthi lifinyelele ezivumelwaneni ezenziwe eParis onyakeni owodwa nje edlule, ngoba libhekene "nokudla" amathani ayizigidigidi ezi-2.000 zesikhutha njalo ngonyaka.
Kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu, imizamo yayo yokongiwa kwemvelo kusukela ngo-2004 kuya ku-2014 ibe yisibonelo kwamanye amazwe. Uhulumeni waseBrazil wethule izindlela ezintsha ngo-2004. Zabhangqwa nazo izithombe zesathelayithi ezakwazi ukukhombisa ukuqothulwa kwamahlathi okuphawulekayo. Uhulumeni uphinde wasungula izindawo ezivikelekile futhi wethula nenhlawulo yokugawulwa ngokungemthetho.
Enye yezindlela zakhe kwakuwukufinyelela izivumelwano nezizwe zomdabu. Ucwaningo olwenziwe yiWorld Resources Institute luveze ukuthi umhlaba ophethwe yilezi zizwe wagawulwa amahlathi ngokuphindwe kabili kuya kathathu kunamanye. Izizwe zomdabu ezinjengeKayapo, zikwazile ukugcina izindawo zokhokho babo ekuqothulweni kwamahlathi okukhulu.
I-Amazon leyo qhubeka uletha isimanga njengoba leli reef elihlaba umxhwele lamakhorali.
