    An absolute land grab fueled by tech company culture. ama, but I’ve been on the back end of this industry for years and watched some absolute con artists. However, those are the ones you don’t need to worry about.

    I’ve become very cautious about who I support with my work.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    This week, delegates arriving in Belém’s international airport are being welcomed with a lively “Boi de mascara” folkloric dance routine.

    President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called this summit to bring together the eight South American countries who share a slice of the Amazon.

    Marajó is the world’s largest river island and sits on the northern coast of Brazil near Belém - the easternmost part of the Amazon.

    It has not kicked off in earnest, but the community has agreed to undertake courses that include sustainable forestry management, chicken rearing and biogas projects.

    “In the municipality there was a huge land grab worth millions of reais [Brazilian currency] of carbon that was sold and that didn’t get passed down to the community.”

    People on the ground in the Amazon - and those at the summit this week - are determined to make South America’s voice heard when it comes to climate change.


    I’m a bot and I’m open source!
