Summary: Norway hopes to boost aid to fight tropical deforestation at a conference tomorrow, and to set in motion a partnership to unlock cash pledged at the Copenhagen summit to help slow climate change. Fifty nations will take part in the Oslo meeting, to be attended by Britain's Prince Charles and the financier George Soros, to forge a "partnership" between donors and countries from the Amazon to Congo basins for protecting forests. The United States, Australia, France, Japan, Britain and Norway agreed on $3.5bn from 2010-12 to save forests.
My Thoughts: This article is basically the same as the one I did yesterday but i didn't realize it until half way through my article i thought to myself "this sounds familiar". so yeah, I'll just write about it again. I think it is fantastic that everyone is trying to save the forests so much. So many countries want to protect the wildlife.
