Ill just there is latin america editor lucy newman reports now from the summit in bell. Im present to host president luisa announced who loved the scene, is billing this summit as the 1st time that the amazonian countries can speak to the world rather than being dictated to by the international community. He had hoped to get a commitment from his peers to agree to 0 deforestation in their im a zone in regions by the year, 2013. And he was not able to get that except from columbia, which has already committed to that, as well as legislative by himself.

After the government signed a piece agreement with the left wing rebel group, the fark in 2016 millions of hectors, of land in this area were destroyed and pristine forest were replaced with capital and graft to feed them.
