The fires that are consuming the rain forest are not natural because these fires are being started by ranchers and farmers to clear the way for the production of crops and livestock. We cannot express how dire the consequences will be on a global scale if the Amazonian rain forest disappears.
Far right wing nationalism is fueling the flames in Brazil to destroy the Triple A Corridor. This is a conservation project with the aims of protecting the rain forest and its inhabitants. The Triple A Corridor initiative, promoted by 400 indigenous tribes of eight countries that make up the Amazon, in addition to the support of indigenous communities in Bolivia, seeks to protect 265 million square kilometers of jungle.
Recent leaks show that the corrupt far right Bolsonaro regime wishes to utterly destroy the Amazon Rain forest for corporate interests. These corporations, now active all over South America, are destroying the Amazon to replace it with farm land. We shouldn’t have to tell anyone the implications of losing the Amazon.
Humans are affecting the biodiversity of thousands of species of plants and animals. Only the mentally ill would set their own house on fire and expect a good result from it. The Amazon rain forest contributes to the entire planet, without it there will be less rainfall. This could be the tipping point for a greater climate catastrophe that could have easily been prevented.
You can argue back and forth whether the Amazon rain forest are the lungs of the earth, or if it helps pull out carbon from our atmosphere all you want, the fact of the matter is – this is a disaster for everyone living on our planet.
We don’t care what you’re hearing on Fox News, or CNN, destroying the only planet we live on has to stop.
We as a collective of activists will do everything in our power to bring attention to the destruction of the Amazon rain forest. We call on all of our brothers and sisters to step up and raise their fists in the air as one so that we can stop this madness.
The world is a very dark place these days, but if we stand up together, if we lock arms and stop the greed and corruption together – we can make this world a lot better and give people hope once again. We ask that all people boycott products that are funding this devastation, remove any corporate influence that destroys the Amazon from your lives.
