Bill enables illegal deforestation by removing enforcement tool, violating environmental and indigenous rights. | The proposed legislation directly weakens environmental enforcement by removing a critical tool (satellite imagery) used to detect and penalize illegal deforestation. This undermines climate action (SDG 13), biodiversity protection (SDG 15), and indigenous rights (UNDRIP), while enabling large-scale environmental harm with minimal accountability.
