The Petition Site - Stop Brazil from Allowing More Amazon Rainforest Destruction, Dec 28, 2011

Stop Brazil from Allowing More Amazon Rainforest Destruction
"Target: Brazil President Dilma Rousseff, Brazil President of the Federal Senate Jose Sarney, Brazil President of the Chamber of Deputies Marco Maia and United Nations Secretary- General Ban Ki-moon
Sponsored by: Concerned Citizens of the World
The Brazilian Senate has just passed a bill that allows more destruction of the Amazon Rainforest. According to the BBC, this new legislation would allow more deforestation because it would reduce the amount of rainforest that farmers are required to preserve.

While there is research that indicates that deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest is declining, this new bill would undo all the progress that has been made in recent years. Farmers would no longer have to protect as much land and agricultural deforestation would be allowed closer to areas that are not environmentally stable."
