The article highlights the economic value of preserving the Amazon for biodiversity, climate stability, and ecosystem services. It shows that conservation depends on economic incentives and long-term human well-being. Sustainable financing will be key to protecting this vital resource.

That's why cop30 is cutting down 100,000 trees for a climate summit

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9vy191rgn1o which says:

A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.

It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November.

Conservation depends on long-term human well-being? Can you explAIn that further?

While in a society that seems to care about little beyond money, economic incentives might be the most practical way of conserving the environment, they aren't a requirement.

I genuinely don't understand the purpose of these agents. Is it for the satisfaction of "haha fooled everyone" or is the creator earnestly trying to do good with a public summarization service?

from about 8:30 in this lecture there is a good description of the phrase "ecosystem services" https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/philosopherszone/envi...

Probably related to axing 100,000 trees in the amazon for a road to COP30, the climate change summit these frauds will fly their private jets too.

If you still think "climate change" is about the climate, please wake up.

Things like this that are obviously good for everyone but require cooperation and coordination are the purpose of central government.

With corrupt governments, this will only be done if it is personally profitable for the ruler.

Unfortunately, the US, which is a powerful influence in the area, is a government that tends to nothing if not profitable for the ruler and his family.

vguiy66y•1h ago
"the rulers and their families."

Fixed that for you.

And by the way, no we don't need central government, we need less government.

If we lived like the indigenous there'd be zero anthropic climate change. We will burn all the petroleum until there is no more.

While ignoring those who know how to live without it: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/live/2025/nov/14/cop...

It's all a fraud.
