It is up to Dutch politicians and companies to come up with solutions against human rights violations and deforestation in Brazil.
That is the message of eight indigenous leaders from Brazil. The delegation and Greenpeace met today with politicians from Groenlinks, D66 and Partij voor de Dieren to discuss the increase in death threats, forest fires and the destruction of nature in their areas.

Agribusinesses are forcibly invading their land and destroying their forests for the establishment of large-scale soy plantations. In Brazil, the production of soy for cattle feed has quadrupled in the past two decades. As Europe's largest soy importer, the Netherlands has an important responsibility in stopping deforestation and human rights violations in Brazil.
