- Conservation_in_Brazil abstract "Due to the intense economic growth, the environment has long been under strain in Brazil. Environmental protection continues to be an issue in Brazil. Indians and Brazilian environmental activists on one side are fighting a battle with ranchers, illegal loggers, lumberjacks, gold and oil prospectors and drug traffickers. This is especially true in some regions such as Pará.Some prominents activists such as Wilson Pinheiro and Chico Mendes were murdered in disputes with other local ranchers in 1980 and 1988 respectively. As recent as 2005, Dorothy Stang, a 73-year-old American nun, was murdered in a dispute with a local rancher. Stang wanted to preserve a swath of the rainforest, where the rancher wanted to raise cattle. José Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva was killed by illegal loggers in 2011.In order to protect biological and socio-cultural diversity, Brazil has established an extensive network of protected areas which covers more than 2 million km2 (25% of Brazil's national territory) and is divided almost equally between protected natural areas or conservation units and indigenous land (Terras Indígenas). For surveillance, the Força Aérea Brasileira has been using aircraft, as part of the Sistema de Vigilância da Amazônia (SIVAM) program, to monitor the illegal logging or burning of the Amazon.From 2002 to 2006, the protected land in the Amazon Rainforest has almost tripled, and deforestation rates have dropped up to 60%. About 1,000,000 square kilometres (390,000 sq mi), have been put onto some type of conservation, which adds up to a current amount of 1,730,000 square kilometres (670,000 sq mi).".
