Amazon Summit: Uncertainties remain about zero deforestation

Due to the absence of a zero deforestation goal and the lack of in-depth discussions regarding oil exploration in the region, the results of the "Amazon Summit", which ended on the 9th, were evaluated as below expectations by experts on environmental issues and civil society. The "Belem Declaration", a document that resulted from the meeting of representatives of eight South American countries, has 113 paragraphs dealing with issues such as science, innovation, water management, climate change, forest protection, indigenous peoples and combating environmental crimes.
