Trees with higher commercial value, such as ipe and chestnut trees, are removed before the forest is burned. The illegal timber is sold to local sawmills, thanks to the lack of control in the national forestry sector, and quietly enters the market, contaminating the entire chain.In original language:Caminhão carregando madeira no AmazonasUm caminhão repleto de troncos de madeira maciça transita pela rodovia Transamazônica, nos arredores de Manicoré (AM). As árvores com maior valor comercial, como ipês e castanheiras, são retiradas antes de a floresta ser queimada. A madeira ilegal é vendida à serrarias locais, graças ao descontrole no setor madeireiro nacional, e entra tranquilamente no mercado, contaminando toda a cadeia.Locations:Amazon-Amazonas-Brazil-South AmericaDate:22 Nov, 2015Credit:© Bruno Kelly / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3543px X 2362pxKeywords:Day-Deforestation-Forests (campaign title)-Illegal logging-KWCI (GPI)-Logging practices-Outdoors-Roads-Timber-Timber industry-TrucksShoot:Amazon Landscape Monitoring 2015 (by Bruno Kelly)In November 2015, Greenpeace went on a field mission to assess, in loco, the deforestation of the Amazon. The Landscape Monitoring, related to agriculture, is held annually. From data analysis and satellite imagery, our team of researchers maps critical areas in the biome to be checked and documented. Despite the agricultural sector selling the image of 'modern and environmentally sustainable', the reality that we see in the field is another one: small and large deforestation, soy production and cattle breeding in areas that have been embargoed, forest fires - including within indigenous lands - and illegal logging. This year, our teams traveled northern Brazil from east to west, through the states of Amazonas, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, and Pará.Em novembro de 2015 a equipe do Greenpeace esteve em campo para verificar “in loco” o desmatamento da Amazônia. O Monitoramento de Paisagem, relacionado a agropecuária, é realizada anualmente. A partir de análises de dados e imagens de satélite, nossa equipe de pesquisadores mapeia áreas críticas no bioma a serem checadas e documentadas. Apesar de o setor agropecuário vender a imagem de “moderno e ambientalmente sustentável”, a realidade que se vê em campo é outra: desmatamentos de pequena e grande extensão, produção de soja e criação de gado em áreas embargadas pela justiça, incêndios florestais - inclusive dentro de terras indígenas - e extração ilegal de madeira. Este ano nossas equipes rasgaram de leste a oeste o norte do Brasil, passando pelo Amazonas, Rondônia, Mato Grosso e Pará.Related Collections:Amazon Landscape Monitoring 2015 - all photographers
