7:01 pm
the many bus taxi strikes against violence by people that that was outrage from aboriginal people in west and australia is legislation that protects that cultural heritage is repealed. the now lead is from a south american nations have gathered in by him in brazil to discuss ways to protect the future of the amazon rain forest. it's the 1st thoughts gathering in 14 years. there's a loss on the agenda or as they negotiate towards a common goal. this includes the dressing, widespread deforestation, climate change, the legal mining and capital forming to those. and it has never been so urgent that i see in the next time this call. but i saw the challenges about age and the opportunities that a life demand joint action employees. that's why i noticed assignments even before
7:02 pm
the presidency, when i was a comp 27 in egypt. and these cute days of i will join us from the side of jose del y for yada in columbia. and walter apollo is incentive cruise in bolivia. but 1st let's go live to on latin america as lucy, a newman. she's that somebody in blind in brazil, so let's see here. the bottom line, does it look like they're going to come up with a joint plant and deforestation by 20? 30. a. well, it depends on who you ask a joint plan with a lot of teeth that really, really will make a difference. and that will lead to major changes. it doesn't look like it because there isn't a commitment from all the countries to do what it might take to really end deforestation by 2013 a short while ago columbia. as president gustavo bet, throat made an extraordinarily strong speech. clearly, he was addressing many of his of his peers from the amazon countries. he said that
7:03 pm
the world that the clock is ticking, i've ever faster to our the extinction. he said, if the world is at the, is about to disappear, our planet is racing towards extinction. and we are in the last decade and i'm quoting him, that's left to make the necessary decisions to prevent this. then why are we just making speeches? that is a very, very strong criticism of what is happening right here in midland, in the summit that's taking place as high speak. and he wanted, for example, all the countries to commit themselves to 0 production of oil, car, coal, and gas as one of the key reasons. he says that uh, that is leading to c o 2 gas emissions at the climate change that he has not got the support that he had hoped for. instead, he has asked for a military force to be created amongst all the countries that can police the borders of the amazon. he came up with a whole list of things,
7:04 pm
but what i'm seeing now is a list of good intentions that will come out of this summit, but not commitments with clear dates that will make the difference fast enough for what apparently the planet needs. how about when it comes to trends, both the policing, something more concrete coming together on that exactly. there has been an agreement to set up a cooperation for us that would be based in the brazilian city of my house. so that the countries, the government can cooperate with policing with intelligence along these porous borders that they have where criminal organizations go back and forth. a tree will better always also saying that the military should be involved to really make it strong enough that they can have helicopters and the necessary equipment to stop in their tracks. the drug traffickers, the coal traffickers, i mean, sorry, the, the, the gold traffic goes to lumber, fish, and there's
7:05 pm
a whole list of the, of products that go back and forth and the lead lead crime and devastation and deforestation in their pass. all right, thanks so much the see a newman, let's go but now to, to raise a bow. she's live for us from while we out a in columbia and i can see to raise a back on the boat today. things looking rosier for the pink dolphins. now that there's some, it's got on the way, and by the way, somebody who's been going around all the same, you're trying to understand what is happening here. we have been in touch with a new indigenous community. the columbia left contacted tribe and the situation in which they are living right now was dire, struggling for food and for medical attention among many of the sick they have to leave the jungle back in 2006. and since then, they have been living outside of their territory because they kind of bolt back because of the legal deforestation,
7:06 pm
the presence of left wing career less than some armed groups and criminal organizations. so how does and lots of concern about this community? they have lots 50 percent of their people mostly because of diseases that they call white man's diseases, likes new nissans among others. and right now, i mean, they love yeah. the river, this river does all the way to venezuela, and this is what the amazon is all about. it's a region that is all interconnected with biodiversity and rivers and streams, and pink golfing. so you just mentioned we in fact just saw one, but they're very, very difficult to phone because they hide. so hope that will fit though this is colombia, 1st left wing precedent. when to berlin, with a very ambitious agenda, we just heard that the government wants, for example, to try to protect 80 percent of the amazon rain forest by 2025. this is how fast paced government wants to celebrate. the ro came to offers with a promise to assist indigenous communities to try to help them who as communities adapt to what is happening here. try to increase, for example,
7:07 pm
why they call bio economies trying to help communities work with what they can find in the waiting forest like sites and other things and try to promote an economy such as the one that does not destroy the environment. but 1st, what paper is aiming, god is trying to reduce some forest ation right now, kind of alexander, rolando scientists is on the, from the length of the columbia and fight against deforestation. he's in charge of operations in the region in the amazon rain forest center says he's working with prosecutors and specialize officers to come by environmental crimes with the whole windshield. the thing that we are looking at money loan to is so we can come to escape the prophecy and they repay the damage they are doing to the amazon. know we know he's, you know, also controls all the world that lives the areas as well as rescuing in danger. spacious with with after the government signed a piece agreement with the left wing rebel group,
7:08 pm
the fark in 2016 millions of hector's, of land in this area were destroyed and pristine forest were replaced with capital and graft to feed them. the government now is trying a different approach and rather than prosecuting small farmers, they're going after adults will finance deforestation. the columbia managed to reduce deforestation by 30 percent in the past year environment administered sustainable, have my thought died to 0 that combating the legal logging industry and working with local communities. our priority is fine for colombia 1st left. we precedent gustavo k through, we are not going to legalize land dot a has being deforest stated a so that it's price increases. and this is that clear message that we have sent out. the other side is the best ones that communities that have more, a closure of increasing that we go through the frontier, but they are really a low income, not very productive policing. local communities at the forefront of the fight
7:09 pm
against land grabs is also part of the plan or metro. this is a community leader has been working with local and deals to reforest areas close to a national park, as well as the government has good intentions. but there are lots of people who wants it to fail, who are part of the business, and they're in congress because they make the laws. but the inside of the ones who do not expect from the government has also the task of protecting people like liberty is as columbia is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for environmental activities. 100 have been killed in the last decade. columbia for is, have also been a victim of the war and the violence that plague this country's history many hope this time, the political when will be enough to revert the damage that has already been done. very so i just see that love yet in columbia.
7:10 pm
well precedent, especially president who got a feeling about but also president columbus press and will start when people went to the summit. was a very ambitious agenda. now the big challenges, how they're going to be able to carry out this type of changes and reforms in their own countries, especially with right now facing a tough challenge in congress. he's coalitions is having some truck was his son, his being investigated for money laundering among many other things. so he would have to pass many of these reforms in congress. i'm not still a question whether he'd be able to do it. but again, what president 1st trusting right now was that the amazon is not just places like this one with thing, toll friends and biodiversity. but it's also about people about the at least 2000000 indigenous people. and who were communities that live in places like this one that need to be protected and that they need to help and that hopefully assignments such as that one will start to mark a road from towards protecting no community environment. but also the people that live in places like this one. i'm to raise it. you've been every hour in
7:11 pm
a different place from both the jungles to villages. kind of wait to see where you'll be in the next hour. thanks somebody to raise above the my, there are a palo is live for us in santa cruz bolivia. now we can go to invest. so that also the amazon, a critical issue. there's been some criticisms from environmental is about the policy of agricultural expansion. talk to us a little bit about how that might be address. now i can see your also in a very interesting place. plenty of wildlife going on behind you too. uh it's good to be with you savvy. that's right. the criticisms are bound here in bolivia, over a lack of action by the government when it comes to national policies of prevention to prevent the types of disasters that the country saw in 2019 during the great fire of the amazon. where believe you alone saw more than 4000000 acres of rain, forest destroyed. it's gonna be
7:12 pm
a little hard to compete with that backdrop that theresa bo had in the columbia with the pink dolphins. but we do have a colorful backdrop one. introduce you some friends. we've made here at wildlife sanctuary in the city of santa cruz. olivia behind me are a group of gold and, and, and blue mate cause and i believe one reading green mccoll over there, also known as a green wing mccall. these are all birds that have been rescued from the legal wildlife trade. these are also large parents, the causes that are very iconic of the amazon rain forest. all of them, victims of the legal wildlife trade just one of the many threats facing wild animals here in the olivia and amazon. now perhaps not many people think of olivia when they think of the amazon rain forest, but nearly 50 percent of the national territory of this country is covered by the amazon rain forest. and what we're hearing hearing consistently from environmentalist conservation experts in indigenous leaders, is that the many threats like deforestation, climate change,
7:13 pm
while fires every year, or just becoming worse exponentially. just a few moments ago before this live hit of our coverage of the amazon summit, i was speaking to my team about how bad the fire season is this year. there's already been 1300 wild fires or hotspots identified nationwide here in bolivia. so this is a problem that is very much on the minds of people that great fire in 2019 is very present in the minds of the people that me, that call the, the rain forest, their home. and so finding a multilateral strategy to combat these many challenges is something that's going to be very important at the summit and certainly very important for conservation is here in bolivia. all right, we'll leave with that. thanks so much, never apollo and his friends in the background and so much i, it's the,

kenny is a professor at the australian national university explains what led to the repealing of the legislation. there's no doubt that the lowest lives same as heavy handed and that'd be time subject to a fair amount of misinformation. a lot of exaggeration about what might be the implications for people with we've property. they were all kinds of stories going around in the community that as a result of those laws, they would not have lots of their own property. include half of the government telling them that there was some sort of cultural heritage ban on developments in the light. so i became very much i politically see. and i think the government has decided to back off and, and, and do but a most of the products. it's interesting because this is, uh, this happens at a time when the federal government and the, and the, and the country nationally is about to have a referendum on what's called a voice depaul in macon ism, that would be put into the stride in constitution. now that has to be done at
