You can’t make this up. In an act that environmentalists are calling peak irony, Brazil has bulldozed 8 miles of the Amazon rainforest—arguably the planet’s most vital carbon sink—to pave the way for a highway leading to COP30, the world’s largest climate summit. Officials claim the road was part of a pre-approved infrastructure project, but satellite data shows deforestation in May skyrocketed by 92% compared to the same period last year. Critics are slamming the move as greenwashing on a global stage. Not only does it send the wrong message about Brazil’s climate priorities, but experts also warn it could accelerate illegal logging, fragment habitats, and worsen fire risks across the Amazon basin. The big question: are we really serious about climate action—or just staging it for the cameras? #AmazonRainforest #ClimateSummit #Deforestation #Greenwashing #Brazil

Swedish billionaire Johan Eliasch made headlines by purchasing 400,000 acres of Amazon rainforest in Brazil—solely to preserve it. Rather than exploit it for timber or agriculture, he shut down logging operations and devoted the land to conservation. His efforts didn’t stop there: Eliasch co-founded Cool Earth, a charity protecting rainforests by working with indigenous communities, and helped launch the Rainforest Trust, which has since safeguarded over 37 million acres globally. His bold move is a powerful example of environmental stewardship through action, not just words. #AmazonRainforest #JohanEliasch #Conservation #CoolEarth #RainforestTrust #ClimateAction #EnvironmentalHero #Sustainability
