South American leaders gathered in Belém, Brazil, for a Summit aimed at saving the Amazon rainforest. The eight nations agreed to take urgent action to prevent reaching a point of no return in terms of deforestation and combat organized crime. However, the summit did not resolve issues surrounding a unified approach to deforestation and limiting fossil fuel extraction. The conference also recognized the importance of Indigenous communities in conservation efforts and called on developed countries to provide financial support. The conference aimed to plan for COP28, the global United Nations climate summit in November.
