How to help Amazônia:

You can donate to SOS Amazônia which is one among the 100 NGOs selected as “The Largest NGOs in Brazil”.

> > > ( ENGLISH: https://doe.sosamazonia.org.br/en ) < < <

And remember:

- 1 USD is 4,04 reais.

- 1 EUR is 4,47 reais.

If you donate only $2,50 USD (10 reais) you're helping a lot.

If you donate only $2,30 EUR (10 reais) you're helping a lot.

About people saying “the minimum value is $10”: Even if you're not from Brazil you can donate in REAL instead of donating in USD or EUR via Paypal, so... YES, you can donate less than 10 dollars or euros. (Just don’t change the currency to USD or EUR, Paypal converts your dollars/euros to reais.)

Or you can help by signing the petitions too!

It won’t take much of your time!

Translation:

Stop killing the Amazon!

To members of the Brazilian Congress, the government of Jair Bolsonaro and world leaders:

As citizens around the world, we were horrified to see the rapid increase in the destruction of the Amazon rainforest in recent months. The fate of humanity is directly connected with the fate of the Amazon, and we ask that you do everything you can to protect the forest, including passing laws to protect public forests and ending illegal deforestation, and even increasing international pressure to prevent further destruction of the Amazon.

Please. Boost if possible, this is REALLY important.

The Amazon are burning for weeks and our government just don’t care, because agriculture makes money.

The Amazon Rainforest is currently being destroyed and lost forever to raging wildfires. However, long term deforestation also plays a role. While media coverage is outrageously minimal, many have been calling for prayers for the Amazon and have encouraged action to be taken to protect it. However, Brazil’s president Bolsonaro has been widely condemned for his inaction. The Amazon is regarded as “The lungs of the earth” where 20% of the earth’s water is found. and where 2.5 million species of insects live. We must do better. We must save our lungs. We must save the earth.

"Μόνο όταν θα έχετε κόψει/κάψει και το τελευταίο δέντρο. Μόνο όταν θα έχετε δηλητηριάσει και το τελευταίο ποτάμι. Μόνο όταν θα έχετε ψαρέψει και το τελευταίο ψάρι. Μόνο τότε θα καταλάβετε οτι τα λεφτά δεν τρώγονται"

Good news on rain forests: they bounce back strong, storing more carbon than thought

Forests that grow back after being cleared for agriculture or by logging grow back much faster than old-growth forests, soaking up carbon and providing vital habitat.

I remember learning in elementary school that when a rainforest is burned or deforested it leaves behind nothing but barren, hard-packed earth. Luckily,  recent research paints a far more hopeful picture.

“As long as some remnants are left when the forest is cleared to provide seeds and refuges for seed dispersers, tropical forests can grow back with astonishing speed.”

A recent study indicated that in some cases regrowing, secondary forest can actually fix 11% more carbon dioxide than even pristine, primary forest.

It is obviously still vitally important to protect as much primary forest as possible, as cutting and burning trees releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and damages biodiversity. However, this new research shows that the reforestation of previously cleared locations can also have a big impact on mediating climate change.

As long as there is some original forest left for plants and animals to repopulate from, rainforests can be regrown!

Amazonia is burning have more than 16 days.

I live in the south of Brazil, literally on the other side of the country.

Yesterday the sky were completely yellow and the sun were red.

People in other states saw the sky becoming completely black in 3:00PM, and it was not a eclipse.

All the polution help this happen, but see the Amazonia on fire make me so, so sad.

And the government is acting like nothing is happening.

Try to breath money later, Bolsonaro
