The Amazonian Rainforest Is Being Destroyed And No One Pays Attention.

The Amazonian rainforest is being destroyed and no one pays attention.

The Amazon rainforest is being burned, cut down, animals are dying, the sky is turning black and red, the color of the rain is changing, it has been 3 weeks already, yesterday, August 19th, the sky in several Brazilian states turned dark at 3pm in the afternoon. Nobody is doing anything, people in my country are celebrating, fans of this current president are saying this is a good thing for the country and the world, they are laughing about it. Where is the commotion, where are the people crying like they did for Notre Dame, this forest is the life of the world, this forest is our air, the home of many natives, where is the commotion, where are the journalists, where is the news. Jesus fucking Christ, spread the news, talk about it, debate about, alarm people around, do something, because in my country, we don't know what to do anymore, we are desperate. I know that people elected this guy, but there are people in this country that don't deserve this, that place, that forest is our oxygen, is the home of a thousand of animals, innocent people, help us. This is urgent

AH.

:(((

Regarding the Amazon Rainforest

I barely have followers here, but here we go:

The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for the last 16 days straight. The Brazilian government says the wildfire is caused by the winter itself, since it doesn't rain a lot there... in a rainforest. It is actually, partially true. Winter is indeed a dry season and wildfires may happen, specially close to the Cerrado (a brazilian biome similar to the african Savanna), but what they're not telling us is that:

The deforestation has increased 80% since last year

The native peoples and animals are being slaughtered for their lands (legally protected green areas)

The government is hiding and lying about scientific data, saying that environmentalists and NGOs are communists trying to destroy the nation. They are brainwashing people to think that sustainability is terrible for the economy

Our Minister of Environment is couldn't care less about the environment and is only there to support the livestock producers and give them what they want. The President and his Minister won't put a single dollar on environmental safety

The wildfires are just so huge that its black smoke and ashes reached the skies of São Paulo, a state over 2.000 kilometers away from the Amazon.

We are hostages or our own government

I could just keep going all night about how our environment is being threatened by this new government. We need every single help we can possibly can.

Please don't let this go unseen. Search for yourself, talk to people about it, make noise, be angry and be scared. Let the world know about it and demand action. This is not about Brazil, is about the planet. The Amazon Rainforest is one of the most important biomes in the world, being responsible for the climate, rains, biodiversity, carbon sequestration and life itself.
