Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit

"A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.

It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November.

The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact.

The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit."

Die - meist illegale - Rodung des #Regenwalds am #Amazonas verstärkt Dürren in der Trockenzeit und auch Überschwemmungen in der Regenzeit, was den Wald und die Regionen noch stärker bedroht. Mit Milliarden von Bäumen ist der Regenwald für das Weltklima besonders bedeutend; die Abholzung und ihre Folgen reduzieren seine #CO2 -Speicherfähigkeit.

Wir müssen wieder globaler denken; denn heute stellen wir die Weichen für die Zukunft der ganzen Menschheit.
