Eight Amazon nations have failed to agree on a common goal for ending deforestation in a two-day summit in Brazil, as they urged industrialised countries to do more to preserve the rainforest

.

The nations gave the green light to a list of unified environmental policies and measures to bolster regional cooperation at the major rainforest summit, but stopped short of agreeing to a regional pact to stop deforestation by 2030, which Brazil had called for.Instead, the joint declaration issued on Tuesday in the Brazilian city of Belem created an alliance for combating forest destruction, with countries left to set their own individual deforestation goals.
