Echoing whats been said, even discounting the moral implications, needless deaths, and international bad blood that would come out of it, wars are extremely expensive.

It would be far cheaper for everyone to just write a regular check to Brazil that has a big enough number on it that they can't refuse. If the cost is split between several countries, it will probably be kind of negligible in the grand scheme of things, Brazil may be better off (well, if corruption doesn't blow up all the money), and the Amazon won't be destroyed as quickly.

The only catch is ensuring destruction doesn't keep going & that Brazil keeps its end of the bargain, which would require oversight, and that's easier said than done.

Oversight of this should be relatively easy, no need to even have on-site visits... satellite imaging would be perfectly enough to monitor any deforestation happening.
