Phys.org Earth SciencesA recent analysis published on Phys.org Earth Sciences suggests that the collapse of the Amazon soy pact could lead to significant environmental consequences, with at least 1.4 million hectares of extra deforestation in Brazil by 2036. This would result in carbon emissions equivalent to Canada's annual output. While not directly related to mineral exploration, the impact of such large-scale deforestation could have broader implications for the mining industry, particularly in terms of environmental sustainability and regulatory frameworks. As investors and industry professionals, it is essential to consider the potential indirect effects of environmental policies on the mining sector.
