The Amazon rainforest could face a renewed surge of deforestation as efforts grow to overturn a long-standing ban that has protected it.
 
The ban - which prohibits the sale of soya grown on land cleared after 2008 - has been held up as a global environmental success story.
 
But powerful farming interests in Brazil, backed by a group of Brazilian politicians, are pushing to lift the restrictions as the COP30 UN climate conference enters its second week.
 
Scientists say ongoing deforestation, combined with the effects of climate change, is already driving the Amazon towards a potential “tipping point”.
