      **Backed by powerful corporations, nations are giving public false choices: Environmental protection or economic growth.**

      Despite claims of environmental leadership and promises to preserve the Amazon rainforest ahead of COP30, Brazil is stripping away protections for the region’s vital ecosystems faster than workers dismantled the tents that housed the recent global climate summit in Belém.

      On Nov. 27, less than a week after COP30 ended, a powerful political bloc in Brazil’s National Congress, representing agribusiness, and development interests, weakened safeguards for the Amazon’s rivers, forests, and Indigenous communities.

      I’m from Brazil, agro megacorporations rule here, the same way people say that Russia is a gas station disguised as a country, Brazil is a farm disguised as a country, these corporations have massive power over our politicians, I wish I could say there’s hope but sadly, it’s getting hard to find any.
