Mar 26, 2010 - Para Estate, Brazil - Cattle farmers in the Amazon. Pastures for ranching occupy 75 percent of deforested areas in the Amazon, with most of the deforestation being illegal. As a result, this sector has been the target of enforcement activities and environmental campaigns. In 2009, IBAMA (The Brazilian Environmental Agency) and the Federal Public Prosecution Service began legal action against ranches and meat-packing plants in Para to avoid the marketing of cattle obtained from illegally deforested areas. According Imazon (Amazon Instutute of People and the Environment), the only way to make this activity possible in Amazon is doing land title regularization, environmental enforcement and actions against clandestine slaughter, support for forest conservation, and increased productivity in already deforested areas. - ZUMArb2_
