Brazil’s President took umbrage over offers of help with Amazon wildfires:
- Bolsonaro wants apology before taking Amazon funds from G7
- Brazil, Bolivia assessing needs after Canada offers $15M aid
- Sending water bombers won’t solve Amazon rainforest fires
- Canada pushing for Amazon protections in free-trade talks with Brazil
- While all eyes are on Brazil, Bolivia battles its own vast Amazon fires
In other news: Canfor announces more curtailments in BC, while discussions on the province’s mill-closure crisis takes place in Mackenzie, Valemount and Fort St. James. Meanwhile: USW ups rhetoric targeting Western Forest Products (who pays for interim benefits); Unifor does the same with Resolute (who holds the wood rights); and Trump pushes to reverse the roadless rule in Alaska.
Finally, does BC need more Woodlot Licences?
