Brazil Amazon: Celebrities urge Biden to refuse deal with Bolsonaro
Dozens of US and Brazilian celebrities have urged President Joe Biden to not sign any environmental deal with Brazil as deforestation in the Amazon rises. In a letter, they said an accord risked legitimising a government that was encouraging environmental destruction. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio and singers Katy Perry, Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso are among those who signed it. President Jair Bolsonaro has weakened protections and called for economic development in the rainforest.
