What happened
A United Nations report revealed a multibillion dollar funding gap remains for the preservation of tropical forests worldwide. While a new fund of $100 million was announced for firefighting in South America, the initiative excludes vast forest areas in Africa and Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, worsening El Nino conditions have fueled massive fires in Indonesia, accompanied by toxic haze concerns.

The issues highlight the global scale of climate change impacts, from the Amazon basin to Southeast Asia. The fires in the Amazon have produced smoke that has impacted air quality in cities like Manaus, Brazil. The lack of adequate international funding adds to the global challenge of forest management.
