The Amazon has had its worst forest fires in two decades. More than 62,000 square kilometres have been burned this year already – an area of land bigger than Sri Lanka or Costa Rica.
Most fires in the Amazon are illegally started by humans, according to scientists, the Federal Police, and the government: loggers and miners looking to exploit land in the Amazon, or farmers turning it into pasture.
The world relies on the Amazon to absorb much of its carbon.

Save the planet save the people save us save animals
The USDA IS RESPONSIBLE AND WE HAVE PROOF BECAUSE THEY ADMITTED TO BURNING OVER 4000K IN LAS VEGAS NM.
Will you lot try and find out who is starting these fires ?
Sensational Video! There is no such thing as a natural disaster in this world. You raised an excellent point. Instead of absorbing carbon dioxide , they will now release record amounts. This is all the result of a directed energy weapon created out of Dark Matter/ Dark Energy. Alien Beings are completely responsible for this. Trust me, this is just the beginning. Natural Disasters do not occur when you are living in a simulated reality. Water, Earth, Fire, and Air cannot go out of balance unless another being is causing it to happen. Ontario, Canada has basically been a Utopia since 1972. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why.
The BBC advert on YouTube claiming to fight for truth is assault. They lie for their Masters at our expense
As long as Big Capital sees these HUMANS as NON HUMANS they will become extinct and the Rainforest they take care of will disappear in a massive tempo! SHAME ON ALL WHO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR OTHER HUMANS NO MATTER HOW THEY ARE DRESSED, NON DRESSED, LIVE DIFFERENT AND WHAT THEY BELIEVES ARE. I’ll bet if you want to save earth, it’s climate etc. you non humans can learn from these humans, these ancient tribes living today.
Sounds like the Globalists are out to destroy more of the earths valuable greenery… (Lahaina, Jasper, California, now South America/Amazon)???
It must be down to the fact I dive a diesel van in Britain… we should all destroy our vehicles and go around on push bikes, I know this island of ours is tiny, but I'm convinced we are the leading major polluters in the world, we are not doing enough like China and Indian to cut back on our emissions. Perhaps we should pay an extra pollution tax… its only fair, surely?
Esses incêndio tão acabando com a natureza 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Game Over
She sounds like catherine tate
Stop this madness😭😭😭
Wake up..Sort out over population now. The root of all our problems.
Hell On Earth 🌎
What's the point blaming them If people buy their beef or soya beans?
Lula e was bad for Amazônia, and and Will be more bad, because he dont care for nature, just for money and power
Congratulations, real estate mafia have/has destroyed even more in Bangalore, India.
I'm an unfortunate victim of the same. Next they are prepared for cannibalism at your kind nation India. Please feel free to taste. I'm aware that this message will never reach you, I wish you all the very best to broadcast more such worst news in nearby future.
My sincere thanks for sharing it. I'm at your courtesy and mercy.
Let god's blessings and grace be with all of us for good deeds in our lives.
Thank you,
Yours faithfully,

How many forests are left on arable land in Europe? None. That's the future of the planet, unless we are willing to sacrifice. Because it's not fair of us to ask Brazilians or Indonesians to forego their economic development because they were late. It was okay for us, but now we know better, sorry. That doesn't work. Developed nations need to commit to a path which to them looks terrible, much like a hundred years of recession, in order to fund the safe, clean, sustainable development of those who weren't "lucky" enough (some may rather say deliberately exploited and repressed…) to get there first. Now try to sell that politically.
Lets keep it up " Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate The Amazon his burning up for crop and beef Co 2 levels are thrue the roof Oceans are heathing up ! speecies are disapearing every day and forever ! So lets Celebrate 🤮🤮🤮
Sorry to say " We are dommed " ☠️😊
Where is Lula da Silva or Marina Silva?
Lula is burning not only the Amazon Forest but also the Cerrado/Pantanal Forests.
Tragic situation
Why do the so called elite G8 who spend billions in useless wars, cannot spend those money on cloud seeding…😢😢😢
Pretty sure we're a done deal. But be sure to keep going for that promotion and have a couple more kids. Just keep pretending this isn't happening years ahead of schedule.
They need arms to resist.
This guy is literally talking about one of the most important issues to ever face humanity, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't cut him off cause your out of time apparently.
🤢🤢🤢😥😥😥😭😭😭
We're fucked… solidly solidly fucked, but make no mistake, the planet won't disappear, we will! And it'll be our fault
We are parasites on this planet
You guys always cut these talks too short.
Work for satan you are😈😈😈
FEMA land grab
Forest fire damage can be beneficial to forest… yet deforestation is irreversible
It seems that humanity decided to destroy planet Earth.our greed is killing planet.
“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.”
Save amazon the lung of the planet
We still need to live with plants and animals u cant escape it accept it do something about it always❤❤
😢😢😢😢😢
F madness, so much greed. All we can do for them in the west is pray. We have our own problems at home. Blaming the west gest nothing done just more of the same. China and India continue to pollute the entire world ahead of every other country combined.
Well it's all down to overpopulation. Look at Sao Paulo. Look at Rio.
And we in Ireland and England are being paid by our governments not to produce food on our agriculture land instead of paying Brazil tokeep their forest… can someone explain that?
The deforestation is also causing drought in Brazil.
It breaks my heart to see this. And yet, so many resources been used to produce missiles and bombs for (MORE) destruction…. 😢
what s it's cause?now a days a termal turbulance , a phoniex heat , geotermal , reradiation (radiation inverse) , war and seasonal deturation makes forest ecology and wild lifes in a worest cenarioes further to displacment and devastation to the huge biodivercity , through air polution to world climat crises😱😭
If they keep away from what has burnt, it will bounce back. If we intending thinking we're helping, it will not! Look at the evolution of many of these trees. Seed packets designed to survive fire, and some even designed to ONLY open AFTER fire.
Soy farmer. Thank vegans.
hmm
How are you out of time?
Did your servers run out of space?
BBC SHOULD BE CALLED XBS>> 'DEFORESTATION HAS SLOWED DOWN AFTER THE NEW GOVERNMENT'>>> GET A GRIP !!
