Brazil, Indonesia and DRC in talks to form ‘Opec of rainforests’

Brazilië, Indonesië en Congo willen een alliantie sluiten om hun regenwouden (de helft van al het tropische regenbos van de wereld) te redden. ‘Een OPEC van de regenwouden’, om ontbossing te stoppen en ecosystemen te herstellen. “This deal could be a promising step forward, as long as Indigenous peoples and local communities are fully consulted in the process and their rights and leadership respected. These three ecosystems are critical for the ecological stability of the world, and the answer for these forests to thrive lies with the people that live in them.”
