Go viral as the Brazilian Amazon burns

Addressed to: President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro

While the world has its sights set on the pandemic, fires are on the rise, after in 2019 the degree of devastation from the fires outraged the planet.

The goal is to accelerate deforestation to make way for growing soybeans or raising cattle, key exports from Brazil.

The latest figures confirm the worst fears: deforestation in the Amazon increased by 25% in the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2019, when it had already set a record, according to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research. (INPE).

The government of Jair Bolsonaro suspended all operations against illegal deforestation in the Amazon. They are causing a series of fires in the Brazilian Pantanal. This area has an important biodiversity and is the largest wetland in South America.

Deforestation between August 2019 and July 2020 has increased in total by 34 percent. No one takes responsibility for the hundreds of fires that have swept through the region in the first 10 days of August. Brazil is deforesting more than 15,000 square kilometers in the year.

The effects of climate change are worse than the coronavirus pandemic. Please spread the word and prevent the Amazon from disappearing. Ensures survival on Earth.

The Amazon is the lung of the world, as it absorbs 1 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
