Deforestation is increasing at unprecedented rates on the border of the Brazilian states of Acre, Amazonas, and Rondônia. An investigation by Laís Duarte for Repórter Eco, produced in partnership with the Amazon Rainforest Journalism Fund, examines how the production of vegetable oils extracted from the wide biodiversity of seeds in the Amazon presents a solution for the recovery of the forest.
