   Why let protecting the Amazon rainforest get in the way of   
   “environmental” activism?   
      
   In the lead-up to the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, a new   
   four-lane highway is cutting through tens of thousands of acres of   
   protected Amazon rainforest.   
      
   The event, to be held in November, is expected to host more than 50,000,   
   including world leaders and high-profile activists who will surely fly   
   on private jets and traverse a road that has been scarred into the   
   pristine landscape.   
      
   BBC reports:   
      
   The state government touts the highway’s “sustainable” credentials, but   
   some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact.   
      
   The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and   
   providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the   
   very purpose of a climate summit.   
      
   Along the partially built road, lush rainforest towers on either side –   
   a reminder of what was once there. Logs are piled high in the cleared   
   land which stretches more than 13km (8 miles) through the rainforest   
   into Belém.   
   Diggers and machines carve through the forest floor, paving over wetland   
   to surface the road which will cut through a protected area.   
      
   A local resident, Claudio Verequete, told BBC, said he used to earn his   
   living from harvesting berries from the tress that used to be there.   
      
   “Everything was destroyed,” he said. “Our harvest has already been cut   
   down. We no longer have that income to support our family.”   
      
   Adler Silveira, the state government’s infrastructure secretary, listed   
   this highway as one of 30 projects happening in the city to “prepare”   
   and “modernise” it.   
      
   Silveira added it would provice “a legacy for the population and, more   
   importantly, serve people for COP30 in the best possible way.”
