巴西警方周二对涉嫌使用化学物质清除亚马逊雨林的嫌疑人进行了突袭行动[1]。此次行动执行了13份搜查令和3项预防措施，但未进行任何逮捕[1]。
嫌疑人被指控在帕拉州乌鲁阿拉市向10,180公顷的原生林喷洒化学物质以破坏植被，随后将清空的土地转换为商业放牧用途[1]。调查对象可能面临环境犯罪、非法使用有毒物质、环保诉讼欺诈和犯罪共谋等多项指控[1]。
2025年亚马逊毁林率同比下降23.5%，但仍有约290,000公顷的森林被清除[1]。农业和畜牧业占原生植被损失的99%[1]。
Brazilian authorities conducted raids on Tuesday targeting individuals suspected of using chemical substances to illegally deforest the Amazon rainforest.[1] The operation, carried out in the municipality of Uruara in the state of Pará, executed 13 search warrants and three preventive measures, though no arrests were made at the time.[1]
The suspects are accused of spraying chemicals across 10,180 hectares (approximately 25,200 acres) of pristine forest to destroy vegetation, subsequently converting the cleared land for commercial cattle ranching purposes.[1] Investigators allege the scheme involved purchasing chemical substances, destroying vegetation, and concealing environmental information.[1] The individuals under investigation face potential charges including environmental crimes, illegal use of toxic substances, environmental lawsuit fraud, and criminal conspiracy.[1]
In 2025, the Amazon region's deforestation rate declined by 23.5 percent year-over-year, yet approximately 290,000 hectares (716,605 acres) of forest were still cleared during this period.[1] Agriculture and livestock ranching account for 99 percent of the loss of native vegetation in the area.[1]
