Amazonian Voices Rise: Locals Demand Spotlight at COP30 Climate Talks

As the COP30 climate conference kicks off this week in Belém, Brazil, the spotlight is on the Amazon rainforest. However, some worry that the region's people are being overlooked in the global conversation. Journalist Daniel Nardin, a Belém resident, has launched Amazônia Vox to amplify Amazonian voices and showcase the innovative work locals are doing to address environmental and social challenges.

Nardin's group is providing a platform for Amazonians to share their stories and solutions. They have developed a database of regional experts that international reporters can access, and they produce and distribute content from Amazonian writers, photographers, and videographers. Amazônia Vox also offers training for journalists and runs a media literacy campaign in local schools.
