You can show the gaps in this report as much as you want but the Brazilian parliamentarians and rural leaders famous of their demagogic and xenophobic statements will use this rapport for the next few years in convincing the Brazilian law makers and people to cut even more Amazon forest.

The thing that amazes me the most is why do Americans an Europeans keep buying Meat, Soja or any other product from Brazil.
Don`t they know that these same farmers and their leaders consistently call them Imperialist and even worse?
Just drive down the 364 Highway in Rondonia and you`ll see written on some signs in the rural area "Valeu Bin Laden" (Good job Bin Laden)???

Avoided Deforestation Partners has released a new report analyzing the effect on Brazil of a gradual reduction in deforestation, showing that it will boost gross revenue to Brazil by $145-$306 billion by 2030. As in the original study, it models a 10 percent decrease in deforestation starting in 2012 followed by 5 percent each year after that, reaching zero net deforestation in 2030. Not surprisingly, it shows tremendous gains for Brazil as agriculture doesn't just shift from deforestation-based production in Brazil to other countries, but shifts to non-deforestation agriculture within Brazil. Given Brazil's plentiful degraded lands that can easily be put into production, its relatively constant temperatures and especially the ability of its cattle industry to use better practices, Brazil's agriculture sector is well positioned to benefit from reductions in deforestation. In addition, the new study shows that, assuming continued commitment to the goals of Brazil's national plan for reducing deforestation and enforcement of current forestry laws, Brazil stands to gain billions of dollars in additional funds through Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation finance. In combination these two sources of income will significantly increase Brazil's resources for development. Read the analysis here: http://adpartners.org/pdf/Rainforest_Protection_Brazil_Analysis.pdf
