The Beautiful Amazon Rainforest in Brazil.
Rainforest are often called the lungs of the planet for their role in absorbing carbon dioxide. Rainforests also stabilize climate, house incredible amounts of plants and wildlife, and produce nourishing rainfall all around the planet. The Amazon Rainforest is the ONLY rainforest that we have left in terms of size and diversity. And it is being DESTROYED!
This is currently what the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil looks like. Fires are raging at a record rate, and scientists warn it could strike a devastating blow to the fight against climate change. More than one and a half football fields of Amazon rainforest are being destroyed every minute of every day. if the Amazon reaches a point of no return, the rainforest could become a dry savannah, no longer habitable for much of its wildlife. Wake up!! We are destroying our planet, and destroying homes for all the wildlife that has called this place home for thousands of years!
