For the EU's calls for Brazil to protect the Amazon to be credible, Europe must end its complicity in Amazon destruction

It's hypocrisy to say "Bolsonaro is to blame" but then to buy products from destroyed forests

We need a strong EU law to protect forests!

Bolsonaro blames the EU for buying products from illegal logging, while he himself dismantles environmental protections

The EU say Brazil must protect the Amazon, but then blindly pays for the destruction by buying products from cleared land

Both are at fault

You can tell the EU to pass a law banning products if they're linked to forest or ecosystem destruction or human rights abuses.

We don't want Amazon destruction on our supermarket shelves!

Act now to tell the EU to pass a strong forest protection law, and stop European consumption driving global forest destruction.
