Bolivia: Evo Morales Blasts Plan to ‘Transnationalize’ the Amazon

After announcements were made that the United Nations could enter the Amazon Rainforest as protectors, Evo Morales criticized the proposal, saying that this would only worsen the situation. There are reports of threats against the Amazon by the North American empire, said Morales. What would it mean to transnationalize the South American Amazon? Would these be “peacekeepers” sent by the Security Council? This would only result in more destruction of the region by the capitalist system, said Morales.
