Soya Plantations in Formosa do Rio Preto, Bahia State, Brazil
Soya plantation area in the Cachoeira do Estrondo Condominium. The farm was established in 1975, and has grown to 305,000 hectares - three times the size of New York City. Soya, cotton and corn are grown there, and the farm is composed of 22 enterprises that operate in the agricultural sector. It is a clear example of deforestation aimed for commodity harvesting. More than 118,000 hectares have been deforested since 2000. It also demonstrates how small farmers and the local community have been pushed out with land grabbing, which has been well documented, and the ongoing threat of violence.

Área de Cultivo de Soja em Formosa do Rio Preto, Bahia
Área de cultivo de soja no Condomínio Cachoeira do Estrondo. A fazenda foi estabelecida em 1975, e já ocupa 305 mil hectares – três vezes o tamanho da cidade de Nova York. Soja, algodão e milho são cultivados. A fazenda é composta por 22 empresas que operam no setor agrícola, sendo um claro exemplo de desmatamento feito para plantio de commodity. Mais de 118 mil hectares foram desmatados desde 2000. Ela também é fator decisivo para que pequenos agricultores e comunidade local sejam expulsos através da grilagem, que vem sendo bem documentada, e dos casos recorrentes de violência.

Overflight in the Brazilian Cerrado
Overflight in the Brazilian Cerrado region in March, 2019. Greenpeace flew over Conservation Units (Serra Geral do Tocantins Ecological Station, Jalapão State Park and Nascente do Rio Parnaíba National Park), in the heart of the Cerrado, and deforested areas cleared for soybean plantation inside the Cachoeira do Estrondo Condominium. The farm is a clear example of deforestation aimed for commodity harvesting. More than 118,000 hectares have been deforested since 2000.
