The Spin

Narrative A

Amazon countries need the world's help to curb deforestation. Besides financial incentives like funds and debt relief, they must also be assisted in fields such as law enforcement and resource conservation. At a time when the world is facing rapid destruction, it would be foolhardy to leave these nations to fend for themselves.

Guardian

Narrative B

Over the years, many countries and companies have publicly committed to protecting the world's tropical lungs. Evidently, pledges alone are ineffective as there is no accountability — the risks to livelihoods, profitability, and demographics sap them of all political will. As long as it remains more profitable to cut down trees than to protect them, words are meaningless.
