If they actually manage this, it'll definitely be a huge step in the right direction. Amazonian deforestation is a global problem due to how important it is for the climate.

Yeah, I really hope they can get some real work done within the next 3-4 years. And if they do, another fascist coming to power in the next election and undoing all of the current administration's work is what really worries me.
I know Lula is not perfect, but I'm really glad Bolsonaro is out of office and his feeble effort to cling to power fizzled out. The Amazon deforestation he endorsed, tacitly or otherwise, is a travesty from both an environmental and indigenous rights perspective.
Yeah, you're pretty much never gonna get whatever one deems perfect, but at least there's always the next election when democracy itself isn't at stake.
Quite an impressive initiative, it gives me hope that large organizations like government and multinational companies will take real action against climate change.
Way to lead by example, Lula.
