Brazilian government begins land regularization program to end illegal deforestation in the Amazon

In partnership with the National Development Bank and the National Institute for Colonization and Agrarian Reform, the Brazilian govt will structure, finance, and raise funds for the Brazilian Amazon’s integrated land and environment planning and regularization program.
