URUARA, Brazil - Brazil’s first raids against illegal deforestation in the Amazon rainforest under President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were under way on Thursday, after the new leader’s pledge to end destruction that surged under his predecessor Jair Bolsonaro.
About 10 Ibama agents set out in pickup trucks on Thursday from their base in the municipality of Uruara, Para, along with a dozen federal police, heading toward an indigenous reserve where satellite images showed loggers and ranchers recently at work clearing the forest illegally. Mr Bolsonaro gave the military and later the Justice Ministry authority over operations to fight deforestation, sidelining Ibama despite the agency’s extensive experience and success in fighting the destruction of the Amazon.
Mr Bolsonaro’s government denied several requests by Reuters to accompany Ibama missions during his 2019-2022 administration.
