LONG READ: How a decree created a REDD old mess in Brazil, and the new effort to fix it GHG15min ago The reporting for this story was conducted over several months by Quantum journalists Vinicius Maffei and Olivier Lejeune, and independent journalist Steve Zwick. Quantum Commodity Intelligence – Lush with trees, sparse with people, and 10 times the size of England, albeit with 1/40th the population density, the northern Brazilian state of Pará is a gateway to the Amazon forest and a microcosm of all the threats to forests everywhere. It’s "a fast-changing region characterised by forests rich in valuable timber species, illegal logging, unclear land tenure laws, widespread land speculation, overall weak law enforcement and severe poverty," according to a 2013 conservation document. "With these variables combined, the result cannot be other but the depredation of natural resources in the benefit of few," it concludes. Tens of thousands of UN delegates will see this depredation first hand at the end of next year, when the state’s capital, Belém, hosts year-end climate talks (COP 30). If they went there now and braved the 16-hour ferry to the frontier city of Portel, they’d also see clusters of half-finished schools, derelict ranger stations, and resurgent deforestation where four private conservation initiatives have been put on ice. One of those projects is the RMDLT Portel-Pará REDD Project, from which the 2013 project document comes. That project, like the others now on ice, was created to slow deforestation in part by helping settlers clarify their rights to the land, but they’ve now been sidelined by the very tenure uncertainties they say they were created to rectify. Until now, it looked like they’d remain frozen until a judge managed to untangle the competing claims, but that could take years. This week, Quantum learned of efforts to broker a negotiated settlement that assuages local officials and passes muster with global standard setting bodies, but that is far from guaranteed. Belém in the vortex Belém city is a rapidly-growing hub that is fast becoming an eco-tourist destination for those wanting to explore the rich biodiversity of the Amazon. With deforestation accounting for around 15% of global GHG emissions, stopping deforestation in the Amazon and in Brazil is widely seen by UN negotiators as a low-cost and rapid way to slow climate change. Indeed, doing so has been a policy priority of newly-elected President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula), who has overseen a one-third fall in logging rates in just over a year.
