發布於 2024-10-04 10:41:13
Environment ministers of the Group of 20 nations agreed Thursday to support the creation of funding sources for ecosystem services, acknowledging Brazil’s proposal to establish a trust fund for forest conservation.
Named the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, the Brazilian initiative would reward tropical forest countries for protecting the critical biomes.
The plan benefits all tropical forest nations based on the area preserved, paying local and Indigenous communities involved for maintaining ecosystems.
The environment ministers of leading rich and developing countries assembled (聚集) this week in Rio de Janeiro for four-day meetings to discuss climate change and sustainability.
The topic is one of Brazil’s priorities as it hosts the G20 presidency until the end of the year, with heads of state convening in Rio next month.
France Owl Treasure Hunt Over

And...
A 31-year-long treasure hunt that drew in thousands of enthusiasts across France appears to have come to an end after official social media accounts linked to the search said the token needed to claim the grand prize had been found.
The hunt, “On the Trail of the Golden Owl,” was based on a book of riddles published in 1993.
Participants had to solve 11 puzzles in the book — and a 12th one that was hidden — to decipher the exact location of the token (代幣，有象徵意義的物品), which would then be exchanged for the real prize,
an owl made of silver and gold and studded with diamond chips.
It has an estimated worth of about 165-thousand US dollars.
