A group of organizations and social movements in the Amazon region presented a proposal for the 2009 World Social Forum has its headquarters there. the city in the Amazon region is proposed to host Belém, capital of the Brazilian state Pará. Being chosen to host this Amazon city by the International Council Forum held in Berlin.
Belém's candidacy competing with other Brazilian cities such as Porto Alegre, Curitiba and Salvador and countries like South Korea and Indonesia.
The decision reveals the global social movement's intention to intervene more forcefully in the debate over global warming problem, since the conservation of the Amazon
is a land of many cultures and ethnic groups, with significant indigenous movements, including women. The dimensions of multiculturalism and gender issues have been identified as key dimensions to be incorporated. Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects is that it is a pioneering experience, being a trans-territorial FSM, significant dimension to think about other possible worlds.
This forum is a new challenge for all global movements, particularly for Latin American movements.
