Brazil election could put 95% of Amazon under right-wing governments by 2027

A potential victory by Flávio Bolsonaro in Brazil's presidential election would align with already right-leaning governments in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Ecuador, placing 95% of the Amazon under administrations favoring agribusiness and mining. This would likely accelerate deforestation and weaken environmental protections, with significant global climate implications. The outcome is uncertain pending the election result.
