Denne uka har tusenvis av skogbranner herjet i Brasil, noe som har fått mennesker verden over til å vise sin avsky.

Mange har etterlyst større mediedekning rundt skogbrannene, og sammenlignet den manglende mediedekningen med alle sakene som ble skrevet da Notre Dame stod i brann tidligere i år.

Ifølge The National Institute for Space Research (INPE), har det vært 84 prosent flere skogbranner i Brasils regnskog sammenlignet med samme periode i fjor.

Dette har skapt storm på sosiale medier, og under emneknaggen #prayforamazonia har tusener verden over oppfordret andre til å vise sin støtte.

Nå har også kjendiser som Leonardo DiCaprio, Madonna og Christiano Ronaldo delt sine meninger om de hjerteskjærende ødeleggelsene.

DiCaprio har lagt ut flere innlegg om katastrofen i regnskogen på Instagram. I et av innleggene, skriver han: 

«Branner er et stort problem for regnskogen og vår planet. Disse brannene forverres av mange faktorer, inkludert klimakrisen og avskogning». Videre foreslår han hvordan følgerne hans kan bidra til å hjelpe.

#Regram #RG @rainforesttrust Fires are a major issue for our rainforests and our planet. These fires are intensified by many factors, including the climate crisis and deforestation. Loss of habitat through illegal logging and development exacerbates the intensity and duration of these fires, helping to create situations like the one in the Brazilian Amazon today.⁠ .⁠ Wondering what you can do to help?⁠ .⁠ 1. Keep informed about the situation. Sites like Global Forest Watch Fires (http://fires.globalforestwatch.org/home/) provide valuable information about the fires going on right now.⁠ .⁠ 2. Share your passion for the rainforest with your friends. Educate others about this issue and why it is so important.⁠ .⁠ 3. Try changing your daily habits to be more environmentally friendly. Purchasing environmentally-friendly products and reducing or reusing paper is a great way to start!.⁠ .⁠ 4. If you can, make your voice for the environment heard in your local and national elections.⁠ .⁠ 5. Support organizations like Rainforest Trust. While we can't help stop these particular fires, our work to prevent deforestation helps stop fires like this from happening again. .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #amazonfires #amazon #rainforest #wildlife #nature #deforestation #saveacres

#Regram #RG @rainforestalliance: The lungs of the Earth are in flames. 🔥 The Brazilian Amazon—home to 1 million Indigenous people and 3 million species—has been burning for more than two weeks straight. There have been 74,000 fires in the Brazilian Amazon since the beginning of this year—a staggering 84% increase over the same period last year (National Institute for Space Research, Brazil). Scientists and conservationists attribute the accelerating deforestation to President Jair Bolsonaro, who issued an open invitation to loggers and farmers to clear the land after taking office in January.⁣ ⁣ The largest rainforest in the world is a critical piece of the global climate solution. Without the Amazon, we cannot keep the Earth’s warming in check. ⁣ ⁣ The Amazon needs more than our prayers. So what can YOU do?⁣ ⁣ ✔ As an emergency response, donate to frontline Amazon groups working to defend the forest. ⁣ ✔ Consider becoming a regular supporter of the Rainforest Alliance’s community forestry initiatives across the world’s most vulnerable tropical forests, including the Amazon; this approach is by far the most effective defense against deforestation and natural forest fires, but it requires deep, long-term collaboration between the communities and the public and private sectors. ✔ Stay on top of this story and keep sharing posts, tagging news agencies and influencers. ⁣ ✔ Be a conscious consumer, taking care to support companies committed to responsible supply chains.⁣ Eliminate or reduce consumption of beef; cattle ranching is one of the primary drivers of Amazon deforestation. ✔ When election time comes, VOTE for leaders who understand the urgency of our climate crisis and are willing to take bold action—including strong governance and forward-thinking policy.⁣ ⁣ #RainforestAlliance #SaveTheAmazon #PrayForAmazonia #AmazonRainforest #ActOnClimate #ForestsResist #ClimateCrisis 📸: @mohsinkazmitakespictures / Windy.com

Cuando la catedral de Notre Dame estaba ardiendo en llamas, los medios de comunicación del mundo cubrieron cada momento y algunos billorarios se apresuraron a restaurarla. En este momento la selva amazónica está ardiendo. El pulmón de nuestro planeta lleva tres semanas en llamas. No hay cobertura mediática y tampoco billonarios. THIS IS A REAL GLOBAL ISSUE. Where are the real leaders OF THE WORLD joining forces for The #Amazon 🔥#repost: @wilfredorosado
