Leaders of several South American nations that share the Amazon are gathering Friday in Colombia to boost protection of the world's largest rainforest.
Leaders of several South American nations that share the Amazon met Friday to discuss ways to increase protection of the world's largest rainforest.
"We are killing the earth, and all of us are responsible," said Moreno, who was on the edge of tears as he recounted flying over the Amazon River, which he compared to a giant, dead Anaconda snake. But cooperation among the countries has stalled even as threats from climate change, unchecked development as well as illegal mining and drug trafficking have increased in the region. A 16-point action plan signed Friday as part of the"Leticia Pact for the Amazon" only commits each country to sharing weather data and taking other steps to make it harder for miners, loggers and ranchers to illegally slash and burn forest.
"This international outrage has the only goal of attacking Brazil's sovereignty," said Bolsonaro, who participated via videoconference due to medical restrictions preventing him from flying."I regret that Brazil has been asleep for decades and is only now waking up to this threat."
