U.S. pledges first $50 million donation to Amazon fund, renews hope for rainforest
February 13, 2023
Recent meetings between Brazil and U.S. presidents sparked hope for new global efforts to protect the Amazon rainforest. The U.S. has pledged to work with Brazil to strengthen Amazon protections, including providing "initial assistance" to the recently revived Amazon funds.
The report says the U.S. claims $5 million first to the fund, causing disappointment for some experts who argue that it requires trillions, not millions of dollars to stop deforestation. However, many environmentalists claim that this pressure gives credibility to Brazil's environmental policy and can prompt more countries to donate.
Revival of the Amazon fund earlier this year has been seen as a major victory for the protection of Brazil's Amazon rainforest after former president Jail Bolsonaro suspended the fund in 2019, contributing to a surge in deforestation levels.
The Amazon Fund, originally launched in 2008 by Germany and Norway, is the most important international cooperation seeking donations to prevent, monitor, eliminate deforestation and promote sustainability. So far, we have supported 102 projects including fighting forest fires in London, Amazon, Amazon, improving sustainable production of forest resources, and ensuring food security for river people.
Now, a recent meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Brazil’s new President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been largely praised by environmentalists as an essential step for the future success of the Amazon Fund and the possibility of achieving Lula’s promise of zero deforestation by 2030.
During the highly anticipated meeting between Biden and Lula on Feb. 10 at the Oval Office in the White House, the U.S. government agreed to work with Brazil on supporting the Amazon Fund, signaling stronger ties between the two countries after a period of frosty relations.
“As part of these efforts, the United States announced its intent to work with Congress to provide funds for programs to protect and conserve the Brazilian Amazon, including initial support for the Amazon Fund, and to leverage investments in this critical region,” according to a joint statement released after the meeting.
