Does Brazil have a role?

Does Brazil have a role?

The Amazon, considered one of the most important forest reserves in the world, is constantly reported by the main media. With good reason, of course!

Brazil, usually through its president, externalizes the need to "do something". Occasionally the focus is on a resource fund, in hard currency, that countries should finance for "the good of humanity".

But, the harsh reality since I was a boy, shows that the activity that systematically takes place in the Amazon is deforestation, mineral extraction, the use of mercury for illegal mining, and the list goes on.

Even gas electric power generation plants were "feasible" in the format that the market called "tortoises". (a popular designation to represent a crony project) -  an agreement between the friends of power.

Government comes in and government leaves but nothing interesting or convenient happens for the benefit of the Amazon area and the country.

The point I want to make explicit is the lack of a State strategy to face the enormous challenges and reach an acceptable ecological level associated with an improvement in the living conditions of the local populations.

Do we have the drive  to adopt a posture that is up to the challenge? Or will we remain a laggard following endless devastation?
