德國將大力保護亞馬遜雨林免遭砍伐

Germany cuts $39M in funds to Brazil for Amazon preservation over deforestation。

德國削減了向巴西提供的3900萬美元資金，用于保護亞馬遜雨林免遭砍伐。

Germany decided to suspend $39 million in funds sent to Brazil to finance projects aimed at preserving the Amazon forest due to increasing deforestation, Brazilian media outlets reported on Saturday.

據巴西媒體上周六報道，德國決定暫停向巴西提供3900萬美元的資金，這些資金將用于資助旨在保護亞馬遜森林的項目，因為森林砍伐日益嚴重。

The move reflects “great concerns with an increasing deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon,” the German embassy in Brazil told Folha de S.Paulo newspaper, adding that the cut does not affect the Amazon Fund, to which Germany is a key donor.

德國駐巴西大使館在接受《圣保羅報》采訪時表示，此舉反映出“對巴西亞馬遜河森林砍伐日益嚴重的擔憂”，并補充說，這一削減并不影響亞馬遜河基金會，德國是該基金會的主要捐助國。

According to O Globo newspaper, the decision concerns only funds destined to new projects financed by the Ministry of Environment.

據《環(huán)球報》報道，該決定只涉及到由環(huán)境部資助的新項目的資金。

German diplomats could not be immediately reached for comment.

Deforestation in the Brazil’s rainforest surged 67% in the first seven months of the year, according to Brazil’s space research agency, though the government has claimed the data is unreliable and misleading.

根據巴西太空研究機構的數據，今年前七個月，巴西雨林的森林砍伐率飆升了67%，盡管政府聲稱這些數據不可靠且具有誤導性。
