    I’m not sure I understand. This article talks about the Amazon fires and the criminals they mention are those that have been illegally ranching cattle there? Not the major deforestation companies for example? Did I perhaps miss something?

      The criminals are the first step in the deforestation, and they’re able to use fire in a way that they weren’t before because it’s hotter and drier, in part because of past deforestation.
