It's said to resemble a fox and a wolf, but in fact the maned wolf is the only species in the genus chrysocyon (meaning golden dog). It lives in grasslands and bushy areas of South America where it plays an important ecological role in the dispersal of fruit seeds. Animal Fact Files

Deforestation in Brazil: down in the Amazon, up in the Cerrado

Compiled data from the real-time monitoring system Deter shows that Brazil managed to reduce deforestation in the Amazon biome by an astonishing 50 percent during the first year of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s third non-consecutive term as president.

Lula came into office in January last year, promising major reductions in Amazon destruction and setting a path to zero deforestation in the biome by 2030. Results so far are encouraging and will give the country plenty to boast about at multilateral climate venues.

From the 10,277 square kilometers of Amazon deforestation recorded in 2022, the total fell to just over 5,150 km2 last year.

However, the end-of-year photograph came out less pretty in Brazil’s Cerrado tropical savanna, where deforestation jumped 48 percent, rising from almost 5,500 km2 in 2022 to more than 7,800 km2 last year.

Cargill and ADM, two of the world’s leading livestock feed companies, helped to scupper an attempt to end the trade in soya beans grown on deforested and threatened ecosystem lands in South America, a new report alleges.

Soya is one of the cheapest available types of edible protein, and is in huge demand for feed for animals around the world; as our consumption of meat and dairy has risen globally, the need for soya has soared too.

But its production has been directly associated with deforestation in some of the most threatened landscapes around the world. Last year, in response to internal concerns and growing public awareness of the issue, 14 leading grain traders worked intensively to agree a ban on buying soya beans grown on some of those landscapes, including Brazil’s Amazon forest, the Pantanal wetlands and the Cerrado savanna, according to the report.

The ban would have imposed a backdated deadline of 2020 on soya buyers, and was expected to be announced at last year’s UN Cop27 climate conference in Egypt, the report said. The backdated deadline was aimed at preventing harvested soya already grown on threatened land areas from entering global markets, and avoiding the deforesting scramble a future deadline might have provoked.

But instead of agreeing the ban, Cargill and ADM “led the push” for weaker language in the final statement, according to one person involved in the discussions between the 14 grain traders before Cop27. “If Cargill – or ADM – had not taken those positions, the outcome would have been different,” the source said.

The Guardian spoke to several of the report’s sources who confirmed their quotes but did not wish to be named.

The soya agreement that was signed by the companies, included in the November 2022 agriculture sector roadmap to 1.5C, was seen as a failure by many NGOs. A group representing retailers including Asda, Aldi, Lidl, M&S and Tesco told Cargill and ADM the agreement was inadequate, inconsistent and insufficient.

The new report by Mighty Earth, an NGO which has previously called Cargill “the worst company in the world”, follows news that soya land conversion has surged in Brazil’s Cerrado. That rise is largely driven by the expansion of soya grown for animal feed, according to Mighty Earth’s CEO, Glenn Hurowitz. “If Cargill had signed up to the ban … the other companies would have followed the leader.” As a result we would not be seeing “the forests and biomes of South America bulldozed at such an alarming scale and pace”, he said.

Two other leading commodity companies, Amaggi and Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC), were committed to the soya ban initiative, Mighty Earth’s report said. Both have “stronger commitments [than Cargill and ADM] to end all soya linked to deforestation and conversion”, said David Cleary, director of global agriculture at The Nature Conservancy, an NGO. The term conversion is used to describe threatened ecosystem lands that are converted to soya plantations, whether forested or not.
