O ritmo de desmatamento na Amazônia mais que quintuplicou no bimestre março-abril (alta de 473%), em comparação com o mesmo período de 2010. Os satélites de detecção em tempo real do Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (Inpe), mais rápidos e menos precisos, registraram o corte de 593 km² de florestas, extensão equivalente a mais da terça parte da cidade de São Paulo.

Em MT. Com o correntão e tratores, desmatadores conseguem derrubar uma grande quantidade de árvores de uma só vez
Faltando três meses para o fim da coleta de dados da taxa anual de desmate, os números do Inpe sugerem interrupção na tendência de queda no abate de árvores registrada nos dois últimos anos. E foram anunciados ontem com a reação do governo: "A ordem é reduzir até julho, não queremos aumento da taxa anual do desmatamento", disse a ministra do Meio Ambiente, Izabella Teixeira.
A ministra coordenará as ações de um gabinete de crise para conter o desmatamento. "Sufocar" a ação dos desmatadores foi o verbo usado ontem por Izabella e pelo ministro de Ciência e Tecnologia, Aloizio Mercadante. A reação do governo conta com mais de 500 fiscais em campo só em Mato Grosso, Estado que registrou o maior avanço das motosserras - 80% do total.
Segundo o Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (Ibama), 37 mil hectares de terras foram embargados para a produção pelos fiscais. Isso representa mais de nove vezes a área embargada no ano anterior.
O desafio é grande. Os três últimos meses são os que tradicionalmente registram o maior volume de desmate, porque coincide com a seca na região. Nos primeiros nove meses da nova taxa anual, o desmatamento aumentou 27% em relação ao mesmo período de 2010.
The pace of deforestation in the Amazon has more than quintupled in two months from March to April (up 473%) compared with the same period in 2010. The satellites of real-time detection of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), faster and less accurate, the reported cut of 593 square kilometers of forests, extension, equivalent to more than a third of the city of São Paulo.
With three months to the end of data collection of the annual rate of deforestation, the numbers suggest the INPE interruption in the downward trend in harvesting of trees logged in the last two years. And were announced yesterday with the government's reaction: "The order is reduced until July, we will not increase the rate of deforestation, " said Environment Minister, Izabella Teixeira.
The Minister will coordinate the actions of a crisis cabinet to stop deforestation. "Choke"action of the verb loggers was used yesterday by Izabella and Minister of Science and Technology, Mercadante. The government's reaction has more than 500 tax on the field only in Mato Grosso, a state that had the biggest advance of chainsaws - 80% of the total.
According to the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA), 37 000 hectares of land were confiscated for the production by the inspectors. This represents more than nine times the area choked last year.
The challenge is great. The last three months are traditionally those who have the largest amount of deforestation, because it coincides with drought in the region. In the first nine months of the new annual fee, deforestation increased by 27% over the same period in 2010.
