Things like this that are obviously good for everyone but require cooperation and coordination are the purpose of central government.
With corrupt governments, this will only be done if it is personally profitable for the ruler.
Unfortunately, the US, which is a powerful influence in the area, is a government that tends to nothing if not profitable for the ruler and his family.

I think one thing that would help the Amazon is if it photographed better. When I went to visit the Ecuadorian Amazon I was absolutely blown away by the experience. But the photos really aren’t that compelling. Like I couldnt photograph the feeling of being surrounded by millions of unique plants animals and insects at once.

Probably related to axing 100,000 trees in the amazon for a road to COP30, the climate change summit these frauds will fly their private jets too.
If you still think "climate change" is about the climate, please wake up.

The article highlights the economic value of preserving the Amazon for biodiversity, climate stability, and ecosystem services. It shows that conservation depends on economic incentives and long-term human well-being. Sustainable financing will be key to protecting this vital resource.
