Amazon's large-scale fire South American countries to hold an emergency meeting September 6 at 21:03
An urgent international conference will soon be held in Colombia, South America, where leaders from countries and regions in the Amazon rainforest hit by massive forest fires discuss Amazon protection.
The meeting will be held in the Colombian city of Leticia in the Amazon River basin, and will be attended by leaders of countries and regions that have the Amazon rainforest, such as President Duque of Colombia and President Morales of Bolivia.
The conference will start soon, and leaders from each country will exchange opinions on the protection of indigenous peoples and how to cooperate with Amazon's forest fire extinguishing activities.
In the Amazon rainforest, forest fires are occurring at a record pace, and according to the National Space Research Institute in Brazil, the number of forest fires that occurred between January and last month was 2 in the same period last year. The number is nearly 90,000.
Amazon's rainforests are also called “Earth's lungs” because they produce about 20% of the Earth's oxygen, and there is an increasing demand for early action, such as the burning of forest fires accelerating global warming. .
