Progress on Deforestation and Land Reform

016219962-fmm00 Great piece from the WRI outlining where deforestation and land reform negotiations are up to in Brazil. The article explains Provisory Measure 458 passed earlier this year and links to useful conent around the thorny elements of the bill that were vetoed- much to the consternation of now Presidential candidate Marina Silva. With COP-15 round the corner, economic recovery tentatively  on track and an election not too far away, expect a lot more around this issue to surface. This piece is a welcome contribution.
