The proposal has already been weakened due to concerns raised by the US and Brazilian delegates, Bloomberg news agency reported on Tuesday, and the US has refused to contribute to a US$300 million World Bank fund, the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We just don&#39;t think [avoided deforestation] should be universally mandated and question whether it&#39;s necessarily the right tool for some countries,&quot; James Connaughton, president George W. Bush&#39;s top environmental adviser, was quoted as telling Bloomberg in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Campaigners for the rights of indigenous peoples have also criticized the proposals, noting that local communities often have the best understanding of how to conserve the forest. &quot;A glaring gap in the text,&quot; Friends of the Earth said in a statement, &quot;is the absence of support for Indigenous Peoples&#39; rights.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alertnet.org\/thenews\/newsdesk\/SP41222.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full
