Our Amazon Observatory Head, @gfunari93, told @AP that large criminal groups are growing through drug trafficking revenue in the region, diversifying their portfolios into illicit markets, like firearms, timber, wildlife and gold.

The consolidation of organized crime in the tri-border region between 🇧🇷🇨🇴🇵🇪 illustrates that the increasing convergences between illicit economies will continue to have detrimental impacts on public security, democratic governance and conservation efforts in the Amazon.

Later today my @GI_TOC colleague @gfunari93 alongside @BramEbus and a stellar panel will discuss the expansion of organised crime in the Amazon. What can be done in response? #OC24 oc24.heysummit.com/talks/ill…
More essential reading from @GI_TOC on the links between criminality and the climate emergency in the Amazon. My colleague @antoniosamp examines the importance of land-grabbing in structuring the region’s illicit economies and its ensuing environmental harms
New piece out by @GI_TOC in @ForeignPolicy. I explain how land theft is behind many of the recent fires in the Amazon. Together with climate change, land use for profit threatens the future of the rainforest in Brazil. foreignpolicy.com/2024/10/22…
My latest for @GI_TOC on the role of criminal actors in the mass fires afflicting the Amazon
🔥 Fires have destroyed 11M+ hectares of the 🇧🇷 Brazilian Amazon in 2024, many set by illegal gold miners and land grabbers.
Criminal activity is worsening the #climatecrisis, reversing gains in conservation and causing record CO2 emissions. 1/ 🧵
