Brazil's election puts the Amazon's future on the ballot
Original: The Amazon's future is on the ballot in Brazil. Many voters aren't focused on it
Brazil is holding an election in which the fate of the Amazon rainforest is a major stake, with the candidates' contrasting environmental policies set to shape deforestation for years. Yet NPR reports that many Brazilian voters are not focused on the issue, prioritising concerns like the economy instead. Environmental groups warn the outcome carries global consequences for climate protection.
Why now: A national election with major implications for Amazon conservation is underway, and the gap between its global importance and voters' priorities is drawing attention.
