WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE AMAZONIA?
So, as a brazillian, I'm desperate and so angry on what's happening with the world's biggest forest and, since I know there's not a lot of media coverage on this, I thought I could share some information.
THE AMAZONIA RAINFOREST HAS BEEN BURNING FOR 3 WEEKS
The Amazonia Rainforest is the biggest rainforest in the world and it's the home of millions of species of animals and plants, as well as to hundreds of indigenous tribes (also, they're the ones actually protecting the forest, the ones who warned everyone that this was going to happen, and now the ones who are going to suffer the most).
The Amazonia is responsible for about 20% of all oxygen on Earth and 20% of the fresh water on the planet flows on its rivers.
Brazil's current president is a racist, homophobic and stupid dude, who approves and promotes anti environment behaviour. He pardoned environmental criminals and suspended environmental laws.
In Brazil, large companies and landowners (and some politicians) are the ones benefiting from the deforestation and that's because the wood extracted illegally is sold to European Countries and the land devastated is used for livestock.
If the Amazonia is destroyed the rest of the world is likely to be destroyed as well.
PLEASE HELP. I know it may seem impossible to do anything from far away, but by spreading information, donating to NGOs and protesting, we may be able to pressure the government to do something.
If you have any questions and/or wants to know more, I'll be happy to help!
