拉丁美洲最大的國家,人口約2.1億,居世界第六。也是全球第十二大經濟體,人均GDP約6,780美元,排名中段。擁有世界最大的熱帶雨林,但2019年極右派總統波索納洛當選後強烈擁抱資本主義,積極開發雨林,再加上氣候變遷,巴西雨林的火災次數持續破歷史紀錄。

Brazil is the largest country in Latin America, with a population of about 210 million, ranking number 6 in the world. Its economy is the twelfth largest in the world. The GDP per capita is about 6,780 USD, putting it among upper-middle-income countries. Brazil boasts the world’s largest rainforest. After the far-right Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019, he embraced capitalism with open arms. Its rainforests are being slowly destroyed as land is cleared for cattle ranching and agriculture and the number of annual forest fires increases.
