Federal Police to Protect the Amazon Forests!

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has called on South American countries that share the Amazon rainforest to unite efforts to protect this vital resource in the fight against climate change, according to Agence France-Presse. He stated, "Addressing the climate issue today is essential for the preservation of humanity on Earth, and the responsibility falls on everyone." He clarified that he is working to organize a meeting with the leaders of Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia, and French Guiana "so that we can discuss a continental policy to preserve the Amazon region." Lula, who began his third presidential term on January 1st, has committed to taking strong action to protect the environment and to reinforce the protection of the Amazon, especially after oversight bodies were dissolved during the presidency of his far-right predecessor Jair Bolsonaro.
