Biden, his daughter, Ashley, and his granddaughter, Natalie, are currently on a “nature tour” of the Amazon rainforest
President Biden walked into the jungle Sunday, becoming the first sitting commander-in-chief to set foot in the Amazon rainforest as he pledged to “fight for humanity” and looked to cement his legacy on climate. Following an aerial tour of the tropical expanse aboard Marine One, Biden was transported to the Museu da Amazônia and ventured into the nature preserve on foot, where he spoke underscoring the importance of conserving the rainforests. “The most powerful solutions to fight climate change is all around us — the worlds’ forests,” Biden, dressed in a blue button-down shirt and boots, proclaimed from a podium sited on dirt path in the lush forest setting. “The fight against climate change has been a defining cause of my presidency.”
Biden becomes first sitting U.S. President to visit the Amazon Rainforest. He announces a proclamation to support the conservation of nature around the world.
Biden was accompanied on the buggy and muggy jungle venture by his daughter Ashley and granddaughter Natalia as well as Nobel Prize winner Dr. Carlos Nobre.
During the visit, Biden conferred with indigenous leaders and touted how the US achieved its objective of allocating $11 billion in climate-related funding annually, up from $1.5 billion when he assumed the Oval Office.
Looming over the trip was President-elect Donald Trump’s forthcoming ascension back into the White House. Biden did not mention his predecessor/successor by name but made references to him.
