The Amazon Rain Forest is burning and with that gone most of our oxygen will also be gone. I hope people in the states can change since we are the biggest consumers of meat and dairy!

There is a petition going on right now and it already has over 5 million signatures! Hopefully this will encourage more organizations to take action and help reforest and protect the Amazon.

thanks for this update! I didn't know much about this until now

>>1 you do know "Most of Earth's oxygen comes from tiny ocean plants – called phytoplankton – that live near the water's surface and drift with the currents, It is estimated that marine plants produce between 70 and 80 percent of the oxygen in the atmosphere. Nearly all marine plants are single celled, photosynthetic algae".

Not saying that I don't care about the Amazon rain forest as it is something that we all should try and protect, but you should look up the facts first instead of repeating something that was on fox news because that's what it sounds/looks like.

this needs more awareness

>>4 true! Only about 20% comes from the Amazon rain forest.

Just a little update about the situation, Jair Bolsonaro, the president of Brazil, will soon be reported for ecocide, due to openly being against environmental laws and having such delayed responses to the situation.

There's a lot more to this situation and I hope that the case gets accepted by the court. I wish I could share links but all the articles I've read about this are in Portuguese
