Ireland has become the latest donor to Brazil's Amazon Fund, contributing €15 million to support rainforest conservation and sustainable development. The pledge, announced on Wednesday, expands the number of donor countries to eight, including Norway, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, and Japan.
Brazil's Environment Ministry stated that the donation will be disbursed over three years, further strengthening the fund managed by Brazil's development bank.
