WE, the Peoples of the Amazon Rainforest, reunited in the Negro River during the I Seminar on the Importance of the Peoples of the Forest in the Context of the Global Climate Change”, organized by the Alliance of the Peoples of the Amazon Rainforest, a twenty-year old network working in the defense of the Amazon and of a better way of life for its peoples, decided: WARN: About the impact of the Climate Changes on the Planet, Brazil and the Amazon. Cientists reiterate that global warming can elevate the Amazon temperature in up to 12 degrees Celsius still in this Century, which will result in less rain, more draugth, less biodiversity and more danger for the peoples of the Amazon. And this impact is not virtual. It is already been felt by our communities, where our indigenous populations can no longer use the lunar calendar, because the wheather has already changed in our region.

RECOMMEND:
1.          The inclusion of mechanisms to reduce CO2 emmissions resulting from       eforestation among the international, national and international policies because history has shown us over the years that sustainable development             cannot be done without the participation of the peoples of the forest. 2.          The Development of Alternatives to compensate the Peoples of the Forest for the environmental services they do to Brazil and to the Planet.  In this        way, the Brazilian Government will be doing justice by giving the true           guadians of the forest the same treatment being given to the Brazilian             entrepreneurs in the current negotiations of the Kyoto Protocol. And the way            of starting this would be for the Brazilian Government to urgently start an        open and broad debate about the role of the climate change in the           development agenda now being proposed to the Country. A strong protest against the irresponsible position of the United States, the number one polluter among all the countries of this world,  for not ratifying the Kyoto Protocol.

INFORM:
That, in face of the great threat, the Alliance of the Peoples of the Amazon Rainforest decided:
1.          Organize the II National Meeting of the Peoples of Brazilian Rainforests, to be held in Brasília, Brazil, from September 18-21, 2007, as an Open Forum for the Brazilian Society to mingle and interact with the peoples of the forest.
2.         Create its own compensation mechanism, the MECANISMO CARBONEUTRALIZADOR DOS POVOS DA FLORESTA, MCPF,             to be issued by the Alliance of the Peoples of the Forest, to help halt deforestation and to reduce the Carbon emmissions in the Amazon. Besides giving a concrete response to the needs of the peoples of the Rainforest who are fighting to defense the Amazon for present and future generations, the MCPF will act as an independent and complementary mechanisms now being negotiated at the national and international levels.   Make ourselves available to the media and the world societies to provide any further additional information to those who care about the future of the Planet and of the Amazon.
