             abstract = "The Brazilian Amazon is facing a deforestation boom with 
                         potentially new deforestation hotspots emerging. We have 
                         identified one of these hotspots at the margins of the BR-319, 
                         where bidding notices for paving this highway were recently 
                         announced in spite of having legal permission for it. 
                         Approximately 90% of the direct influence zone of this highway is 
                         composed of pristine vegetation, still extremely well preserved. 
                         No environmental impact study on the effects of this paving has 
                         been conducted in the most preserved part of the highway. From 
                         July to September, 2020, period after the publishing of the 
                         bidding notices, deforestation alerts and active fires have 
                         increased significantly in its direct influence zone. This 
                         suggests the absence of a clear strategy for the sustainable 
                         development and conservation of the Brazilian Amazon. Resuming and 
                         improving actions that significantly decreased deforestation and 
                         hold to account actors opposing environmental obligations is 
                         urgently needed.",
