The Rock of the social project in Rio to plant three million trees in the Amazon already aims to “five or six million,” said today the president and creator of the music festival, Roberto Medina.
speaking to journalists precisely in the Amazon, where on Saturday night ran an Placido Domingo tenor concert on a stage shaped leaf in the middle of the Rio Negro, the official recalled that initially the aim was to reach three million trees by 2019 and said this value has been reached last Friday.
emphasizing that it is necessary to stop the clearing of forests and start, instead, afforestation, Roberto Medina said that from now on is to start in Brazil a “very strong” campaign accordingly.
Satisfied with the result of the initiative in raising awareness of the Amazon to environmental issues, the official considered that is doing its duty, “because a brand like Rock in Rio has that obligation. ” “My specialty is making noise in the world for good things,” he said.
After the last festival in Lisbon already with a view to plant trees after the bold move in the middle of a river in the Amazon, Roberto Medina assured that there are other also bold ideas but declined to say what, not to leave nervous people with him work.
And admitted that five or six million trees is little compared to the needs (over two thousand million, according to Brazilian environmental) but can be a milestone leading to policy decisions and the problem to discuss “serious”.
