US would help Brazil fight crime and protect the Amazon rainforest.
This bill would direct US agencies to help Brazil fight criminal groups destroying the Amazon rainforest. It would also push international banks to support sustainable projects there. This aims to protect the environment and local communities in the Brazilian Amazon.
Today, criminal networks operate in the Brazilian Amazon, causing deforestation and environmental damage. If this bill passes, US agencies would actively help Brazil fight these crimes, support local communities, and influence international banks to protect the Amazon. The Department of State could receive up to $10 million each year from the government's budget years 2025 through 2028 to support these efforts. The bill would also require a report to Congress on the causes of deforestation, including the role of certain goods entering the US and China's involvement.
