Help is on the way!

For the past three weeks, the Brazilian Amazon rain Forrest has been on fire at a high rate. Many people online have questioned why it’s received little media attention.

The Amazon Forrest plays a vital role in our biodiversity!

Reported on NYDN, “Some 44,000 troops will be available for “unprecedented” operations to put out the fires, and forces are heading to four Brazilian states that asked for federal help to contain the blazes, Defense Minister Fernando Azevedo said. The states are Roraima, Rondonia, Tocantins and Para.”
