The heartbreaking disappearance of Brazilian Indigenous rights advocate Bruno Pereira and British journalist Dom Phillips has once again revealed that under Bolsonaro the Amazon has been handed over to illicit networks and industries.
Illegal land grabbing, timber theft, prohibited hunting and fishing, and drug and weapons trafficking are not only increasing but advancing deep into the forest. Indigenous people, environmentalists, Indigenous rights advocates, and journalists have become beacons of resistance in Brazilian society, but also targets by those emboldened by Bolsonaro since his campaign for the presidency.
The criminal network has only grown stronger under the Bolsonaro administration, threatening forest defenders in every way. The crimes committed go unpunished and those who attempt to create a semblance of justice are retaliated against.
