A complaint is about to arrive from Brazil, addressed to some foreign countries, including EU countries, which are buying timber resulting from illegal logging in the Amazon. This was announced by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

“In the next few days we will reveal the names of countries that import illegal Amazon timber. Some of them are the most severe critics of my government towards the Amazon region: I think that after this demonstration this practice will decrease a lot ", the head of state of Brazil said, speaking at the summit of the leaders of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India , China and South Africa), held virtually.

"Our federal police have developed an isotope method that allows us to identify the location of the seized wood, and not only of the seized wood, but also of the exported one," added Bolsonaro.
