for a memorandum of understanding with the U.S. to end the war.

Brazil’s government has announced a $75 million investment in the BR-319

highway, a move environmentalists fear could speed up Amazon deforestation

(森林砍伐).

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva claims it will be the most

environmentally advanced road in the world.

The highway, linking Amazonas and Rondonia, remains mostly unpaved since its

1976 inauguration.

The government also unveiled an environmental protection plan that includes

monitoring and conservation units.

Critics argue the project lacks necessary safeguards and could worsen

deforestation.

The Amazon, the world’s largest rainforest, plays a critical role in

regulating the global climate.

The road cuts through one of the biome’s (生態群系) most well-preserved regions,

home to dozens of protected areas and Indigenous territories.
