G7 has agreed to spend 22 million US Dollars to tackle the huge forest fires engulfing the world’s biggest Amazon rain-forest.
This was stated by Presidents of France and Chile today at the G7 summit in French town of Biarritz.
The G7 group comprising Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States, has also agreed to support a medium-term reforestation plan which will be unveiled at the UN in September.
The initiative was announced after G7 leaders held talks on the environment, which focused on the fires destroying chunks of the Amazon rain forests.
Nearly 80,000 forest fires have been detected in Brazil since the beginning of the year a little over half in the Amazon region.
