Leaders of the Group of Seven nations said Sunday they were preparing to help
Brazil fight the fires burning across the
Amazon rainforest and repair the damage even as tens of thousands of soldiers were being deployed to fight the blazes that have caused global alarm.
Germany's Chancellor
Angela Merkel said her country and others will talk with Brazil about reforestation in the Amazon once fires there have been extinguished.
"Of course (this is) Brazilian territory, but we have a question here of the rainforests that is really a global question," she said.
