for the last 2+ weeks, the Amazon has been catching fire. Yes, itβs the season where thatβs normal but because of the sayings (aka incentive) of our new president, some farmers are taking advantage of that and intentionally setting the trees on fire. Yesterday, because of this, the sky of SΓ£o Paulo looked like this. AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.
Hospitals of the northern states are filling up with people (especially children and seniors) claiming they canβt breathe properly. ALREADY ENDANGERED ANIMALS ARE DYING. THIS IS SERIOUS.
Germany and Norway, huge donators to the Amazon cause will stop sending money because they donβt see results (that can also be credited to our president, who has been tweeting angrily ever since - not because he cares about the environment, btw). That money gives this guy and his team equipment to save little guys like these:
THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE, NOT JUST BRAZILIANS. The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world, and itβs being destroyed. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
If your country is holding elections, vote for someone who cares about this. Donβt let another Bolsonaro or another Trump have the power to do something and then do nothing. This is going to shape our future β if we have one.
PLEASE REBLOG, EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS!!
side note: not to sound bitter or ungrateful but also like whatβs up with Europeβ¦ yβall exploited South America for centuries but just because you βarenβt seeing resultsβ you stop helping altogether?? if you really wanted to help you wouldnβt stop because you think you arenβt helping lol
