So, our Lung is on fire.

It is already threatened by huge deforestation, to the point it lost 20% of its wildth in less than 30 years.

It’s been burning for around two weeks and almost no word has been uttered about it. I, sincerely, have come to find out about it just now. I’m shooketh ™️ because we’re really burning away this planet.

The Amazon Rainforest holds 20% of global waters, it’s an area of incredible value in termns of biodiversity and, nevermind, it’s a crucial climate regulator. Spread awareness, demand help.

We need to start sharing this with context that these were intentionally set fires that landowners etc were using to clear more land for agriculture and sales like….billionaires aren’t saying shit because no one cares so long as stuff like this is done for profit.

This was NOT a wildfire. This was done on purpose, with the blessing of our neofascist, necrophiliac government, and it’s all part of a project to tear down Brazil to institute a neoliberal project that would greatly benefit foreign interests.

i.e. the forest is being torn down for agro/lumber/mining. These don’t even benefit Brazil, it’s all for cheap exports that benefit a few oligarchs over here, benefit the foreignt powers who buy us out cheap, and screw over the people. We are seeing all our human rights and labor lights and everything that makes this country a civilized place to live being torn down, because the people here are also considered a cheap commodity to be exploited/sold.
