Brazilian police stormed a dozen sawmills in the Amazon rainforest in a raid, arresting about 30 people accused of involvement in an illegal logging ring
MANAUS, Brazil - Police stormed a dozen sawmills in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest in a dawn raid on Tuesday, arresting about 30 people accused of involvement in an illegal logging ring.
The sawmills were located near Manaus, the state capital of Amazonas, Brazil’s largest rainforest state. The criminal ring linked to Tuesday’s raids has cut down some 9,000 trees that were each over 100 years old in the span of 10 months, according to police. About 99% of deforestation in Brazil last year was illegal, according to deforestation mapping initiative Mapbiomas.
