Presidents of 8 Amazon basin nations as well as the French President are all set to meet on Thursday in Manaus to discuss the save-the-jungle program and reach a common proposal to be better prepared for next month's UN Climate Change Conference to be held in Copenhagen.

The meeting has been called by Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. The country is the biggest stockholder in the Amazon basin, and the one day meeting will also include France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy as the country's overseas Department of French Guyana extends well into the Amazon basin.

Authorities from the countries of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Surinam and Venezuela, Lula and Sarkozy and France, with the meeting, are hoping to reach a "common stance" on the preservation of jungles' issue, in order to be better prepared for a discussion on saving Amazon's lush jungles in the conference.

"Brazil believes it is crucial for the (Amazon) region to have a converging and cooperative participation in the Copenhagen summit", said President Lula da Silva.

The UN Climate Change Conference will be held in the Danish capital of Copenhagen from December 7-18, and will look into the pressing matters which the world is currently facing with regards to rapidly changing climate conditions and global warming.
