Here are some maps of recent deforestation in the Brazilian administrative state of Rondonia, source of ongoing extraction industry invasions of Indigenous semi-autonomous land and the subsequent source of the forest fires from which smoke from burning forest has engulfed Sao Paulo, inspiring the “Pray for Amazonia” publicity campaign in August 2019. On 12 January 2019, an initial wave of about 50 resource extraction workers - the first of many - illegally invaded the rainforest territory of the Uru-eu-wau-wau Indigenous people of Rondonia; they immediately began cutting trees, burning forest, and installing vehicle-access trails. [Source.] The Karipuna, in Rondonia, are also fending off extraction industry invasion. You think the subsequent intense resource extraction expansion in Rondonia, the subjugation of local Indigenous communities, and deliberate fire-setting might contribute to the excessive smoke?

Here’s a view of deforestation relative to Indigenous-managed territories (from Imazon, 2015):

Here’s a demonstration of how the smoke in Sao Paulo, indeed, comes from Rondonia forest fires, despite Bolsonaro administration denials and their insistence that “pressure systems” are to blame.

That big red patch of smoke is directly over Rondonia.

Here’s Rondonia:

Here’s a 2011 research article examining how deforestation in Rondonia, specifically, alters climate patterns across the continent: [x]

An excerpt from Amazon Watch [February 2019]:

In what appears to be a concerted strategy to deny indigenous peoples protection and legal recourse from these attacks, Bolsonaro abruptly removed Brazil’s National Indigenous Foundation (FUNAI) from the Ministry of Justice. This has blocked the agency’s ability to conduct direct dialogue with Federal Police, which supports FUNAI’s mission of protecting indigenous rights and defending indigenous lands. The move complicates the ability of FUNAI employees to bring environmental and human rights crimes to the attention of appropriate authorities, creating bureaucratic obstacles in a time of crisis. In addition to losing its home in the Ministry of Justice, the Bolsonaro government divided FUNAI’s mission into two ministries, further undermining its ability to serve indigenous peoples. The agency is now managed by the Ministry of Women, Family, and Human Rights, which is headed by the evangelical extremist Damares Alves who has been roundly denounced by Brazil’s indigenous leadership for her animosity toward native peoples as well as accused of kidnapping a six-year-old indigenous girl from her village to raise as her own daughter.
