Illegal gold mining on protected reservations of Indigenous peoples like the Yanomami, will also be a priority, he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2024\/01\/22\/governments-fail-to-agree-timeline-for-climate-science-reports-in-fraught-ipcc-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Governments fail<\/strong> to agree timeline for climate science reports in fraught IPCC talks<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Uniting the Amazon countries against criminal activity in the world&#8217;s largest tropical rainforest is key to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva&#8217;s effort to restore Brazil&#8217;s environmental credentials after four years of soaring deforestation under his hard-right predecessor, former President Jair Bolsonaro.<\/p>\n<p>Brazil will share with its Amazon neighbors the technology the Federal Police is developing to trace the origins of gold illegally extracted by wildcat miners in the rainforest, Freire said.<\/p>\n<p>This technology, which should establish the &#8220;DNA of gold,&#8221; uses radioisotopes to determine what prospect the gold comes from by checking particles of the metal, ore or dirt against samples collected from gold mining areas across Brazil, a vast mapping process that is near completion, he said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2024\/01\/18\/junk-offset-sellers-push-to-enter-new-un-carbon-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Junk offset sellers<\/strong> push to enter new UN carbon market<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>ACTO members will be asked to do the same mapping of samples on their countries, Freire said.<\/p>\n<p>The police developed the technology with the University of Sao Paulo and has 50 million reais from the Amazon Fund to implement a program that will require a radioisotope scan, possibly from Japan, and handheld radioisotope identification devices to be used in ports and airports, he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian government wants to spend some of the Amazon Fund on paving a road through the rainforest, a move critics say will worsen forest destruction.
