Preservar a Amazônia é Investir no Futuro
We did not create the Amazon, nor did we bring the indigenous peoples to live in the Amazon. But certainly, at no point in this country's history has a government been as concerned with preserving the Amazon forest and its waters as we are. That is why today is a very grateful day, and I wanted those of you who are happy with everything that happened here today to remember that less than 4 years ago we were crying because the rhetoric was to break the fences to let the cars pass. That was the rhetoric from 4 years ago. So it is important for you to remember that a standing forest is more profitable than a forest that has been cut down or burned. We are already close to achieving that with you.
