Abstract

This study discusses the challenges of Greenpeace as a global civil society actor in suppressing the increase in deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon forest. The election of Jair Bolsonaro as president has caused an increase in deforestation rates compared to previous years. This is inseparable from Bolsonaro's vision of encouraging economic development through pro-deforestation policies. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach. The data source comes from secondary data collected from the internet, such as journal articles, books, research reports, news, and other library materials relevant to research needs. Data analysis involves collection, condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. This study found that Greenpeace was faced with two things. First, pro-deforestation government policies. Second, the company's business activities are pro-deforestation, facilitated by state policies. This coalition between states and corporations is a challenge for Greenpeace in its efforts to reduce deforestation in the Amazon. In other words, the struggle that Greenpeace is fighting vis-a-vis with the state and corporations.
