 Under the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, illegal activities were hitting the sky. Barroso who was in COP 27 United Nations talk in Egypt proposed that Brazil should develop their bioeconomy to counter this and use best mind among themselves.
One of the experts from Brazil happity agreed to this but gave a taunt when he said an inch of sovereignty should not be given to anyone.
Lula started the funding back again after taking office, proposed the plan to protect 193000 sq.km miles of Amazon and reform Brazil’s tax code. Lula has advisers who are pushing him towards a more green economy and a path of more left wing policies.
THE POETRY FROM LINDA RODRIGUEZ ON AMAZON Source:- Poetry Foundation The sudden pink shape surfacing in black-water lagoons shocked explorers. All dolphins share man’s thumb and fingerbones, but these also wear his flesh. When the river overflows and floods the varzea, these dolphins travel miles to splash in the shallows amongst buttress-roots of giant rainforest trees. The waters abate, trapping fish, dolphins never. A lamp burning dolphin oil blinds. At night the pink-flesh contours melt and blur. The flipper extends the hidden hand to lift its woman’s torso to the land. An Eve, born each night from the black Amazon, roams the dark banks for victims to draw to the water and death. Taboo to the Indians, this pink daughter of the river’s magic always looks, to explorers, like she’s smiling.
