As the Brazilian Amazon suffers its worst human rights and environmental crisis in a generation, the Bolsonaro government clearly bears most of the responsibility. Yet private sector actors profiting from this assault often escape scrutiny. Given their central importance to the viability of this destructive agenda, this complicity must end.
For the third year in a row, Amazon Watch has published groundbreaking research that links international corporations to the crisis in the Amazon. This year's report, Complicity in Destruction III, was launched in close partnership with the Association of Brazil's Indigenous Peoples and tracks land invasions, violence, illegal deforestation, and other rights violations.
By pinpointing Brazilian and international companies engaged in these practices from the mining, agribusiness, and energy sectors, the report also exposes the complicity of major US-based financiers BlackRock, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Vanguard, Bank of America, and Dimensional Fund Advisors.
