By Pablo Solón*2024 set an all-time record for the amount of forest lost due to wildfires in the Amazon.
According to Global Forest Watch, the rate of deforestation of primary tropical forests tripled in Bolivia and more than doubled in Brazil compared to 2023.
Regular meetings are held between the presidents of the Amazon countries (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela).
The TFFF is a scheme designed to privatize financing for tropical forests.
At least 20% of this funding, or $60 billion per year, should go to the world’s tropical forests, which are essential in combating climate change.
