Abstract

Intense forest fires in Amazonia made the headlines in August 2019. For those who study the region, this environmental crisis came as no surprise. The fires are the result of a long-term obliviousness of national governments towards the environment, intensified by the weakening of Brazilian environmental agencies (IBAMA and ICMBio) and the relaxation of surveillance actions and fines for environmental crimes.
