Gatti emphasised the role of international commodity demand in sustaining deforestation: “It’s hypocritical to blame Brazil alone for failing to combat deforestation while countries such as the United States, those in Europe, China, the UK, and others continue to buy products linked to deforestation.

"If they stopped buying timber, meat, soy, corn and minerals produced in deforested areas, deforestation could end very quickly.”
