Grazing the Amazon

Grazing the Amazon explores the staggering transformation of the Amazon rainforest into vast cattle ranches, where three cows now roam for every human inhabitant. In the 1970s, the forest was intact, but today, an area equivalent to the size of France has disappeared, with 66% converted into pastures. This drastic change was fueled by government incentives that attracted thousands of farmers, making cattle ranching a powerful economic and cultural force in the region. But in 2009, the game changed when the Public Prosecutor's Office took action against large slaughterhouses, forcing them to monitor their supplying farms and sparking a new era of accountability.
