| Résumé : |
The cattle population in Brazil exceeds 200 million, with over 70 million located in the Amazon biome. Approximately 70% of cleared areas in the Amazon house cattle and the population has been reported to be increasing in recent years.
Agriculture is a major driver of Brazil's economy and cattle play a vital role, acting as a key source of revenue for communities in those areas. As a by-product of the meat industry, leather can originate from animais reared in these regions. Due to its significant cattle herd, Brazil is a key source of global rawhides..
Deforestation in the Amazon has also been increasing over the last decade, mainly due to the economic reliance on commodities produced in this area. Organisations need to work with their supply chains and act now to prevent the Amazon from reaching its tipping point for recovery.
The rise in Amazon deforestation is causing the leather industry to face increasing pressure to ensure its supply chain does not contain products linked to deforestation. Although leather is a by-product and, therefore, is not the primary driver of deforestation, the industry is in a prime position to work with supply chains to encourage best practices while maintaining Brazil's social-economic priorities. |
