A four -lane highway cutting through protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in Belém , Brazil .

The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact.

Locals fear the road will lead to more deforestation in the future, now that the area is more accessible for businesses.

Belém was "abandoned" and "neglected" with "little interest from the ruling class", says Dalci Cardoso da Silva .

João Alexandre Trindade da Silva : "We hope the discussions aren't just on paper and become real actions".
