is taking place that brings together youth activists, indigenous
leaders, scientists and forest dwellers. In a region known as Middle
Earth, they are building a new alliance and demonstrating that the
rainforest is central to life on Earth, even though Brazil backed out of
hosting this year's official UN climate talks after the election of
Jair Bolsonaro as president.
