Activist Groups Slam Brazil’s Approval of GM Trees
It is being called an illegal decision for Brazil’s government to have approved genetically modified (GM) eucalyptus trees for commercial growth. Activist groups from Brazil say that the decision violates national law, but they will also fight the decision in court.
The Brazilian Technical Commission on Biosafety (CTNBio) formally approved a biotech industry request to release genetically engineered (GE) eucalyptus trees last week.
