The amount of deforestation in the Amazon in June set a new record, with a 10% increase compared to 2019. This week, as we enter the fire season, Brazil’s government announced in a meeting with foreign investors that the government will issue a presidential decree to suspend the authorization to use fire in the Amazon for 120 days. Controlled burns are authorized by the government to help prepare soil for agriculture, but end up illegally damaging forests. This new decree could help prevent the Amazon from experiencing the same level of catastrophic fires as last year.

As the fire season in Brazil gets underway, Instituto Araguaia de Proteção Ambiental has geared up for another intense season, and are prepared to protect one of the most special corners of the planet: Brazil’s Cantão region, where the Amazon rainforest meets the wooded grasslands and savannas of the Cerrado biome on one side, and the wetland marshes of the Pantanal do Rio das Mortes on the other.

🚩因為我們人類的需求所以亞馬遜燒起來
很多人問亞馬遜燒了那麼多天我們可以做什麼:
了解為什麼會燒起來,然後作出改變跟行動。
很多研究說亞馬遜因為過度伐林所以燒起來,
那到底是為了什麼為了誰砍伐了什麼樹林?
跟據WWF的研究,最直接的是為了養牛(佔80%,以生產牛肉和牛奶)。其次是為了棕櫚油(砍伐棕櫚樹)和種大豆(砍樹空出空地)以支持畜牧業的需求(about 67 percent of the world's soy is grown to feed livestock). 。當中一些砍伐都是非法的。
我們可以做什麼?
最直接的:
🔸少吃牛(進口的更不應該吃)/不吃牛
最主要是因為大豆需要大面積空地種植
大豆的來源不是亞馬遜也可能來自美國
要大量種就必須砍木取地…這樣就少了樹吸碳
(更新:當然上面有提到說大豆都是支援畜牧業
所以其他的肉類也應該要少吃/或是不吃)
🔸減少購買含棕櫚油成份的東西
包括:巧克力、泡麵、餅乾(零食類)、洗髮精等
買東西注意標籤…也同時可以保護婆羅洲雨林…
🔸捐款給保護亞馬遜的組織
比較間接的:
🔸珍惜用紙
🔸持續關注
🔸告訴你的朋友
還是同樣的總結,環境是環環相扣的,
我們活在一地不代表沒有影響其他地方的環境…
地球就只有一個…
地球之肺如果也失去其功效
我們的未來真的是…也沒什麼未來能有什麼未來
改變是我們的責任
//Over the past 50 years, 17 percent of the Amazon rainforest has been cut down and destroyed by humans, 80 percent of which is for cattle ranching (to produce beef and dairy), according to the WWF. Most of the rest of the deforestation in the Amazon is due to illegal logging, harvesting palm oil, and growing soy to feed livestock (about 67 percent of the world's soy is grown to feed livestock).
A few things you can do to reduce your personal contribution to the Amazon's deforestation are: eliminate beef and dairy from your diet; donate to organizations fighting to protect the Amazon, such as Amazon Watch; avoid buying food, furniture, or paper that came from the Amazon; stop purchasing food and other products made with palm oil, another significant cause of rainforest deforestation.
