Nothing, as they say at United Nations conferences is accepted until everything is agreed. But as the climate at Cancún Conference runs in his last few hours, the delegates are convinced that at least something has been recovered in the text of diplomatic wreckage.A establishing a framework agreed to send billions of dollars annually for tropical countries, so they can protect their forests agreed in working groups and has to pass the Almighty plenary, where more than 190 countries should give the final plan approval.The, called for the reduction of emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) forest patch, held by conflicts relating to measures to protect biodiversity and the rights of the inhabitants of the forest, including indigenous tribes. In particular, is supposed to have fretted their Brazil, they venerate yet that the wording of the text violates their sovereignty.Conservationists and defenders of human rights is appeared confident text REDD will be approved by the plenary Assembly and claimed a victory, although many details to resolve.
