As the UN climate conference, Cop30, approaches in Belem, Brazil, preparations are underway to make it inclusive, especially for Indigenous and environmental activists. However, issues such as inadequate infrastructure and accommodation threaten this goal. The context is further underscored by the legacy of journalist Dom Phillips, whose work emphasized the dangers of environmental advocacy in the Amazon amidst a surge in deforestation and weakened regulations during Jair Bolsonaro's leadership. This environment creates both urgency and peril for those committed to conservation.
"The choice to host Cop30 in Belem, Brazil, highlights the importance of showcasing civil society participation, particularly Indigenous groups vital for conservation amid significant logistical challenges."
"Dom Phillips' book serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers faced by those fighting to protect the Amazon, especially given the increased deforestation under Jair Bolsonaro's presidency."
