Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt: Brazil will protect the Amazon 'with its own efforts' without waiting for international funding, the former environment minister of incoming President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Saturday (Sunday in Manila) at UN climate talks.

Credited with curbing deforestation in the 2000s, Marina Silva outlined key environmental priorities for the new president, who will visit the climate talks next week in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
