#Repost from @amazonaid . Wildfires currently raging in the #AmazonRainforest hit record numbers. Due to the Brazilian government's denial of this issue, there is not enough media coverage to bring attention to it. ⠀ ⠀ YOU CAN HELP by spreading awareness about these devastating fires so that governments in the Amazon don't get away with policies that put the rainforest at risk.⠀ ⠀ Become an Amazon Warrior and help us protect the Amazon and help save the planet. 🌱LINK IN BIO 🌿⠀ ⠀ Rapid deforestation, along with heat and drought are major contributors to the record wildfires raging in the Amazon rainforest right now.⠀ ⠀ There will be major consequences of rapid deforestation. Without trees to anchor the soil and retain moisture, the underlying vegetation dries out, making it easy to burn. Trees also evaporate a massive volume of water and emit chemicals that make it condense, helping the rainforest generate its own rainfall.⠀ ⠀ Rapid deforestation of the Amazon rainforest has huge global consequences when it comes to climate change. The Amazon rainforest produces large amounts of oxygen. Its vegetation holds on to billions of metric tons of carbon dioxide that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. Burning these trees releases even more carbon dioxide, which means that we are destroying the very thing that is protecting us. ⠀ ⠀ Conserving the Amazon rainforest is integral to mitigating climate change. But with the current pace of wildfires and deforestation, the world is rapidly galloping toward a tipping point of no return.⠀ ⠀ #amazonaid #deforestation #climatechange #savetheamazon #amazonrainforest #prayforamazonia #amazonaid #amazonas https://www.instagram.com/p/B1chzccgMNk/?igshid=16mojkii30kzw
#IGtakeover by @ronhaviv_vii for @amazonaid (LEFT) llegal gold miners Dani (L) Armando, (C) and Marco at camp | (RIGHT) Illegal gold miners Fredy Rios, 22 and Anna Maria Ramirez, 26 at camp. These are part of a series of portraits taken to show how this mining really affected, not only the miners but it affected an environmentalist, affected a shopkeeper, hotel owner, taxi driver. They are all completely connected and interconnected through the gold mining. Any attempt to change the mining situation is not just going to affect a few miners, it's going to affect an entire community. @viiphoto #riverofgold #peru #goldmining #viiphoto #portrait #amazonaid #everydayclimatechange (at Amazon Jungle, Peru)
