8 Amazon nations launch alliance to fight deforestation and to protect Amazon Rainforest | Oneindia
8 South American countries have agreed to launch an alliance to fight deforestation in the Amazon, vowing at a summit in Brazil to stop the world’s biggest rainforest from reaching "a point of no return".
It is the first summit in 14 years for the eight-nation group, set up in 1995 by the South American countries that share the Amazon basin.
The closely watched summit of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) adopted what host country Brazil called a "new and ambitious shared agenda" to save the rainforest, a crucial buffer against climate change that experts warn is being pushed to the brink of collapse.
The summit is a key test for veteran leftist Lula, who previously served as president from 2003 to 2010 and returned to office in January, vowing "Brazil is back" in the fight against climate change, after four years of massive deforestation under his far-right predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro.

A devastating series of tragedies struck Brazil on Saturday and Sunday, claiming numerous lives. On Saturday, a passenger bus in the state of Minas Gerais collided with a truck, killing 38 people and leaving 13 others injured. The bus, which was traveling from SĂŁo Paulo, lost control after blowing a tire and burst into flames upon impact. Brazilian President Lula da Silva expressed condolences, vowing full support to the victims' families.
Just a day later, a small plane carrying 10 passengers crashed into shops in the popular tourist city of Gramado, in southern Brazil. All 10 people aboard the plane were confirmed dead. The crash triggered a massive fire, sending at least 15 people to the hospital with smoke inhalation. The plane struck a chimney, a second-floor building, and then a furniture store before debris scattered across the area, also hitting a nearby inn. Authorities have vowed to investigate both incidents thoroughly as the country mourns this twin tragedy.
