Debate, the ban of beef from Brazil until they stop burning the Amazon.
The main driver behind the burning of the Amazonian jungle is for the quick turnaround of temporary grazing land for cattle. If there is no market for Brazilian beef, this problem would stop immediately.
The rain forest ecosystem relies on a fast turn over of vegetation. The soil does not have a deep nutritional depth. The illegal burning of the Amazonian rain forest is driven by the purchase of beef by Western countries. Yes, eating Brazilian beef in the U.K. is driving the pressure to create cheap beef in Brazil. Once the new shoots are eaten, the cattle have to move on, as the soil will not support further vegetation growth. Let’s send a clear consumer based message. No Brazilian beef!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
In particular, we're not sure whether you're calling for a ban or a debate about a ban.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
There's already a petition about sanctions against Brazil, which you might like to sign if it calls for something you'd like to happen. You're more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
