Amazon countries fail to agree on deforestation goal as they call on industrialised countries to do more
Eight Amazon nations have failed to agree on a common goal for ending deforestation in a two-day summit in Brazil, as they urged industrialised countries to do more to preserve the rainforest. Leaders and representatives of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador and Suriname met for the first time in 14 years in the hope of offering a unified position on how to protect the Amazon rainforest from threats like deforestation and crime.
