Mighty Earth’s Soy & Cattle Deforestation Map locates Brazilian farms flagged by early deforestation warning systems for recent fires and/or land clearance, later confirmed by satellite image. These farms have been identified as potential direct or indirect suppliers to at least one of the 10 major global meatpackers and soy traders monitored, linking these companies with deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, Cerrado and Pantanal.

The Map only includes deforestation cases published in Mighty Earth’s Rapid Response – Monitoring Deforestation in Brazilian Supply Chains reports. While these cases represent only a fraction of the actual devastation in Brazil, they provide detailed examples and evidence of deforestation within the supply chains of soy and beef supply chains, offering insight into how these companies are responding to deforestation alerts. The Map will be updated periodically as new cases are reported.
