Together with the GLUE Lab, we’ve been developing a project to map cattle presence on embargoed lands in the Brazilian Amazon. Our analysis of thousands of embargoed areas in Pará shows that over a quarter still contain cattle, even though these lands are legally suspended from productive use.

This work highlights major gaps in enforcement and shows how the cattle frontier continues to advance into areas that are supposed to be recovering forest.
