Brazil is taking significant steps to protect the Amazon rainforest and combat deforestation. The country is launching an FX hedge platform for 'green' investments, proposing a global forest conservation fund, and implementing mandatory tracking of cattle to stop deforestation. Additionally, Brazil is launching a $204 million drive to restore the Amazon rainforest, with global corporations financing the expensive restoration through carbon credits. The UK has committed an additional €35 million to Brazil's Amazon Fund, and there is a $250 billion plan by Brazil's government to save the Amazon, with calls for the rest of the world to offer cash to help.
