Brazil
Since 1988, GRET is stepping up its support defining forest policy through studies conducted for the AFD and the Brazilian Forest Service.
The year 2010 was an electoral year in Brazil, both federally and in the states, for the executive and legislative branches. The policy conducted for eight years by both Lula governments was confirmed by the election of President Dilma Roussef, his designated replacement, and by Chambers that give more space to parties close to the government. In terms of environmental challenges, notably in the Amazon, this election signals greater impetus given to development measures (mining, revision of the Forest Code to make it less conservationist) and infrastructure building (notably hydroelectricity). Nevertheless, in a context of greater public control, clearing continues to wane, and mechanisms to monitor clearing by farms are slowly being set up.
