Donate any amount to these charities:

Edit: apparently it’s better to donate to indigenous organisations instead, see this post for some recommendations

I’ll keep these here as extras, anyway:

Spread the word:

Reblog/retweet posts with info on the fire and ways to help

Make your own posts (no matter how small!) with relevant tags to get/keep the topic trending

Tell friends, family, and anyone else you know - specifically, you can tell them about the things they can do, like the things on this list

Other things you can do:

Use Ecosia, which plants trees when you search, instead of google

Use Ecosia to find out more info about the situation, and more ways to help - note: searching just “Amazon fire(s)” will bring up mainly Amazon’s Firestick/TV. Be creative with your searches, or specify “amazon rainforest fires” for clarity.

If you can, cut down on meat - especially beef. A big reason why this is happening is to clear space for either cattle ranches or livestock feed crops like soy.

If you can, boycott certain brands that are involved/benefitting from Amazon rainforest clearance and logging - I encourage you to do your own research, but some of them include Unilever, PepsiCo, and Nestlé.

The rainforest of South America, also known as Amazonia, has been undergoing a continual and accelerated conversion process into farmlands (including pasture for livestock) since the early 1960s. This process has typically been achieved by clearing the forest using fire—“slash and burn”— followed by planting of crops.

The generally infertile soils of this rainforest—the largest such forest on Earth—make sustainable farming difficult. This drives people to convert more forest into farmland. The area of clearing can be considerable, and since the deforested regions are easily identifiable and measurable from space, the rate of deforestation is likewise easy to track.

[caption id="attachment_12630" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="This astronaut photograph illustrates slash-and-burn forest clearing along the Rio Xingu (Xingu River) in the state of Matto Grasso, Brazil. The photo was taken from the International Space Station. Light colored areas within the river channel are sand bars, which show that the river is in its annual low-flow/low-water stage. For a sense of scale, the river channel is approximately 63 kilometers (39 miles) long in this view. (ISS029-E-008032)"][/caption]

Rivers are the natural highways in Amazonia, which may explain why the burning is occurring right next to the Xingu River, one of Amazonia’s largest.

In recent years, forest preservation has gained traction in the region as a result of new valuation of the ecosystem services provided by the forest, concerns about the impact of the burning on global climate change, and greater sensitivity to the ethnic and biological heritage of Amazonia.
