A fraction of promised climate money reaches Amazon communities: Interview with Latimpacto’s leaders

The Amazon rainforest, vital for global climate health, sees significant funding pledges for its conservation, yet much of this money fails to reach the Indigenous and local communities that protect it. An interview with Latimpacto leaders reveals the stark reality of underfunding and the neglect of those who depend on the rainforest for their livelihoods. This issue highlights a critical gap in how environmental funds are allocated and underscores the need for more equitable distribution to ensure the rainforest's preservation and the well-being of its guardians.
