1st group of migrants in a barge. And its the latest controversial integration policy. The original west african block eco was says, it will meet on thursday to discuss the when each year as the junk closes its air space. The brazil is about to host a 2 day summit about tackling the enormous challenge which ultimately affects all life on earth. How to protect the amazon rain forest and in turn, fight Climate Change. The latest data shows a major reduction in the amount of trees being cut. Now the amazon rain forest spans across 8 countries, and we have correspondence covering various locations. Theresa bo is in some hospital will be out in columbia, and while were palos in santa cruz, bolivia lets see. A newman begins our coverage from the lemon, brazil where the summit will be held. The Environmental Protection agency inspectors helicopter into a Remote National park in the amazon state of florida with thousands of heads of cattle have been raised in legally there now being confiscated. But its too late for the rain forest, which has already been cleared in the general mind me and did you deserve joyce Government Task force sweeps in to destroy the gold mining assets. While in the city has been in inspectors, check out the lumber yards timber to ensure it comes from as legal source before being shipped to england next week. Are alex, lets say that the sofa hits the Environmental Agency bama in the state of florida, which is the size of angola pieces that under former president jade bolts, donato illegal capital farmers, and longer is operated freely. This one way from this, which was quite the ones that were available for a lot of in the previous 4 years, we faced the opposition of the president himself. He joins social networks that criminals to part in to say that the bama couldnt police them. Our agents were attacked and received death threats, but the tide has shifted. Environmental protection or tuesdays are receiving more financial and Political Support from the new government. And its making a difference. Satellite data shows a decrease of nearly 60 percent in deforestation compared to the same period last year. Its the lowest drop in 6 years, but still much higher than between 20082017. I didnt. Okay. Look, this is where theyve been starting to mock the area they will play. This was in may and a month later in june, all the treat you seem to pick area have been removed. Thats equivalent to 750 myra kind of football stadiums. Brazils new left when government says its committed to combat in Climate Change and reversing deforestation in the amazon, but its easier said than done results. Congress is controlled by the conservative opposition. In fact, the lower house has already passed a bill that would open up protected areas to commercial interest, such as oil mining and logging. Should the senate pass that bill as well, then president , who like i said, was promised to reach 0 deforestation by the end of this decade, would be a move point. Theres is pressure from powerful sectors in the economy as well as some local communities to fast track investment and development. And the amazon, the issue is finding ways to do so without destroying to see and human algebra. Villas and theresa boats always be allowed now from sun hosted that it will be at a, in columbia. Theresa, youre gonna tell us about deforestation in columbia in just a 2nd, but im looking at your life shot and its just stunning. Just to show us around little bit, if you can, i appreciate not that easy cuz youre on a boat. But most of our viewers, you know, theyve never had the privilege of being a place even remotely like where you are right now. Well let me tell you, this is the web. Yeah. The river, it is a river that goes all the way to venezuela and its part of the amazon rain forest. It is an interconnected, filled with jungles and streams, and full of biodiversity and indigenous communities for struggling to survive. Just into a few minutes ago, we were able to see some pink stalls. Things that we were told are quite shy of the population here. So its so easy to spot them, but we were surrounded by a family. There was also some heroines around richard biodiversity, in this part of the country we woke about, you just mentioned, heavy destruction has been ongoing for a year. This area specifically used to be in a way protect it because it was filled with the left wing guerrillas until 2016 when a Peace Agreement was signed. With the left wing reveled group known as the fog. And when that happened and the really started to lay down their weapons, thats when bulldozers in 5 years started to increase all around the ferry and thats when capsule was. We replaced the web, the capsule replaced the rich bio diversity year and the twisting force that used to go through by this part of the country. However, where i am right now, as i just mentioned, continues to be filled with pristine forest, with biodiversity, with pink double fence, among so many other things. And thats one of the reasons why the precedents columbia, as far as the left wing precedent, will pay through as may be environment one of these key priorities. This is the vast what the added region, columbia store to the amazon waiting for as it was without to be saved from deforestation until 2016. But when the Peace Process with the left, his career less known as the fark was signed, the fire example, those are starting to multiply everywhere. It does that. So when we get the majority, but Environmental Authority will what they also thing started to change last year, are you comfortable . Yet there is a change in government and they say the environment is a main priority. The possibility of changes in land laws and land distribution has generated expectations and are the routes of conflict. We travel to talk to those affected by war and were trying to help find deforestation which in the past year was reduced by nearly 30 percent. 50000 hectors of land was spared for the 1st time in years. The government of all that will fit there is trying to implement what is known as a total piece plan with several of the armed groups to continue to operate areas like this one in for youll notice right now negotiating a Peace Agreement with a National Liberation army a Guerrilla Organization where for the 1st time the environment is part of the agreement in an attempt to put an end to the destruction of columbus forest. Even though a Peace Agreement was signed with bark rebels, dissident groups continue to control this area. And in the town of thought to where they ordered people to gather to discuss their contribution to the rebel group. People here tell us the career. Lets have banned all sorts of deforestation since precedent goes, well pay through to golf is in an attempt to secure a peace dialogue with the government, seeing if they come and tell us to not destroy and that we need to care for the environment. Of course, we are afraid theres also this mentality that if we dont stop destroying the far as the forest will destroy us for several years, different administrations have implemented productive. We conversion programs. A lot of thing i know in spite of a group that makes pastries only other products, with foods, from the amazon given to casing it. And we do not have the resources to a forest, but we are going to preserve many of those who cut down cheese do it because its part of the livelihood. And that is what has thought to, to change to everyone here knows that piece and the small trans and reducing deforestation in the past year are fragile. They say the government and the International Support our crew show right now to make them left very so well just see that we had in columbia. And when you see what sustains in a place like this one with this rivers and this forest filled with a bio diversity with cougars, with monkeys, with pink, those things as we were able just to see right here. And thats one of the reasons why. Precedent proof that well pay through came to office with a promise to in house and way to, to support the environment to fight this for deforestation to bon drilling in the amazon rain forest. Among many other things hes, hes facing a very difficult fight in order to achieve many of these things because his correlation is now divided in congress. Hes facing an investigation because his son was accused of Money Laundering among many other things. And thats why hes heading to berlin there to get some International Support for many of the policies that he wants to carry out to preserve this part of the world. And in a way, what is important is message a message from the precedents that are going to be gallery in midland, so that this part of the world can be protected. All right, teresa both thank you very much for your reporting. Thank you. Also to your team for the great campbell work for the boat there. Now manuel repel oak reports from santa cruz in bolivia, swear. In the outskirts of the sunset goes bolivia in a transitional forest. These are the forest that surround the amazon basin. And over the course of the last few days, weve been speaking to conservationists and Indigenous Leaders who are dedicated to the area of conservation and are very hopeful over the outcome of this amazon summit taking place this week in brazil. If there is one criticism that we are hearing over whelming leave from members of Civil Society groups, is that indigenous voices are not often taken into account by the bolivian government at that more likely that again, im out of the ts, but we try to do is care for our mother because its our territory. Its a tier 3 as women, its all body as women. Were calling on the thirtys to listen to assess women to respect our territories as indigenous people. Policy experts here in bolivia see that one aspect thats of particular interest to bolivia at the amazon summit is finding a Multi Lateral agreement to combat whats known as norco deforestation. Thats the clearing of huge swats of rain for us to make room for a list of crops and illegal gold mining. Of course, thats just one of several themes being discussed this week in berlin, brazil.

These are all vessels that have been confiscated by the italian coast guard. Since april alone are you can see on board of them, you have closed, you have live savers. A traces of people who were in dire conditions and were rescued. Now Prime Minister, georgia, maloney had ran on a ticket to curb illegal migration. So far it doesnt seem to work, even though she has diminished considerably the number of rescue boats that go out at sea to save these migraines. And shes also using the political track just 2 weeks ago, she had a migration conference in rome to which the, its an asian president attended. And the 2 countries signed the memorandum of understanding by which it totally would give around a 100000000. 00 to tunisia.

This is something that will help countries in the us is our eyes actually developed more autonomy and more resilience so that their citizens are not going without adequate food stores. The secretary also noted that the us is making more money, hundreds of millions of dollars more available right now to help countries obtain Food Supplies for their citizens.
