American Countries: Pan-Amazonian Countries and Information Service

american countries: This past week, the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico and six Central American countries launched a network to coordinate efforts to benefit the environment and indigenous people in the region, according to The Japan Times. The Vatican's information service says that like the Amazon, the Mesoamerican biological corridor is a devastated territory and threatened by state concessions to transnational corporations. The eyes of the world have recently been on the world's largest rainforest, which is vital for the planet but is suffering from its worst outbreak of fires in years, due in part to an acceleration in deforestation. ; The working document for the synod, which mainly brings together bishops from nine Pan-Amazonian countries, denounces in scathing terms social injustices and crimes, including murders, as well as suggesting a church action plan. It warned that large extractive projects, mono-cultivation and climate change threaten land, the environment, culture and self-determination. He said Friday that church representatives discussed the needs of each country and indigenous people, who tend to be the most susceptible and those who suffer more from all the ravages of industries that go to their regions to deforest or excavate. Gustavo Rodriguez Vega is archbishop in Mexico's Yucatan and head of the new Ecclesiastical Ecological Network of Mesoamerica. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
