The world's largest meat company, JBS, has allegedly fuelled illegal deforestation, land grabs and human rights abuses in the Brazilian Amazon by sourcing cattle from ranches operating inside protected areas, according to a new Human Rights Watch investigation. On Wednesday, the nonprofit issued an 86-page report focusing on the state of Para, where the United Nations will hold its annual climate change summit, COP30, next month.

last fall, 20 environmental organizations-including Mighty Earth, Greenpeace and Rainforest Action Network-signed an open letter to JBS investors opposing the listing, saying it would put the climate at greater risk.
