is destroying rainforests, releasing mega-tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, killing hundreds of endangered species. See Nestlé’s full list of mills where they buy palm oil, six of these are actively destroying forest.

The climate crisis is a "progressive war".It’s killing us at this moment & it’ll keep killing us.If we don’t tackle it NOW,it’ll mean societal collapse&+wars along the way.We need millions of warriors.If u think u’re not“activist material”,think again.Are u“extinction material”?
PLEASE, join the rebellion NOW to stop all wars! #UprootTheSystem! The clock is ticking! We have less than 8 years/94 months/Or just short of 3,000 days to save all earthlings, present and future!

An Amazonian area the size of 3,000 football fields is being cleared daily,but apparently,is not enough:
“The Brazilian government has approved a railway that will tear apart 933km of Amazon forest & decimate countless lives & swathes of Indigenous lands.

“The Brazilian government has approved a railway that will tear apart 933km of Amazon forest & decimate countless lives & swathes of Indigenous lands.
The "#Ferrogrão" project is being rushed through by Bolsonaro’s government,with heavy backing from agribusiness greedy giants like Bunge, ADM & Cargill.
The situation is extremely serious. Experts confirmed that if this railway gets built, the damage will be irreversible.

Any moment now,the erasure of ancient🌳& villages could begin,but we can still stop this horror.Indigenous leaders are urgently asking 4 OUR support–if ppl across the 🌎 show we're watching,we can ramp up the pressure on decision-makers in Brazil & abroad to halt this atrocity”.

Human activities have contributed to the massive destruction of nearly two-thirds of the world’s original #TropicalRainforests in the last two decades, a new study has found.

The analysis has revealed logging and land conversion for various agricultural practices as the two primary factors behind the wipeout of these forests, which serve as the largest reservoirs of carbon and effectively mitigate #GlobalWarming.

Der Regenwald brennt. Brasiliens Präsident, Jair Bolsanaro, sorgt im ersten Amtsjahr für 40% mehr Rodung als im Vorjahr.
Seit den 70er Jahren sind 20% des Regenwaldes verschwunden. Werden es 25%-30% [2], wird das Ökosystem Regenwald wohl kollabieren und zu einer Savanne [3].

Forscher vermuten jedoch, dass dieser sogenannte "tipping point" deutlich früher erreicht werden kann, wenn die Küstenregionen des Regenwalds bedroht werden, da nur hier kalte, feuchte Meeresluft ins Landesinnere gelangt [3].

@EmmanuelMacron Many use fire to maintain farmland or to clear land.
Typically, activity peaks in early Sept & mostly stops by Nov.
#NASA satellite data indicates total fire activity across the #AmazonBasin this year has been close to the average of the past 15 years.

A wildfire near Robore, Bolivia.
Wildfires in Bolivia have devastated about 745,000 hectares of forests and farmland.
Neighboring Peru says it is "on alert" for wildfires in the Amazon spreading from Brazil and Bolivia.

There's probably a lot of talk about the #AmazonRainforest flooding your timelines and we're here to set the record straight. People are saying the Amazon rainforest is on fire and no one is talking about this….well here we are talking about it ☺️
There's a lot of claims to keep track of, but here's a few that have been circulating. Check out this tweet:
..and this one...
I have written a thread in response to @filgmartin's (Filipe G. Martin) thread, regarding his criticism to the outrage of the current events happening on #PrayforAmazonas.
If you read his thread to the fullest, I encourage you to read my response as well:

1/ "We are very concerned about these fires both, I think for the immediate damage that they are causing, and also because sustaining forest is crucial in our fight against climate change," says Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary General #AmazonRainforest #UN
2/ "All forests are essential for the health of the entire world, the international community recognizes this importance of the forest," said Stephane Dujarric. #AmazonRainforest #AmazonFire #Amazonia #UnitedNations
3/ "Not only the Amazon, but also the forests in the Congo basin, in Indonesia, the health of all these massive, massive forests is critical for the wellbeing of humanity," said Dujarric. #UnitedNations #AmazonRainforest #AmazonFire #Amazonia
The Amazon the largest lung in our world is on fire😭.
It's time for humanity to stop & think seriously about what it is doing🤨.
Is this our legacy for future generations😠?
Is money more important than conserving nature😡?
🗣️We need the forests to survive.
🗣️Protect nature!

The #AmazonRainforest is a critical piece of the global climate solution. Without the largest rainforest in the world, we cannot keep the Earth’s warming in check. The Amazon needs more than prayers. So what can YOU do? (1/5)
✔ As an emergency response, donate to frontline #AmazonRainforest groups working to defend the forest. (2/5)
✔ Consider becoming a regular supporter of the @RnfrstAlliance’s community forestry initiatives across the world’s most vulnerable tropical forests, including the #AmazonRainforest. (3/5)

1. faltering rainfall & increased drought
— and you know what happens with less rain? less water to drink and food to eat, affecting rich agriculture.

2. more greenhouse gases

Fires in the #AmazonRainforest are trending, and like most trending topics people are seeing the forest and not paying attention to the trees.

A huge number of wildfires are burning in the Brazilian states of Amazonas, Roraima, and Rondonia. They’re burning down irreplaceable rainforest and erasing biodiversity. Fire data: queimadas.dgi.inpe.br/queimadas/port…
Is this an emergency? Yes.
Is it new? Sadly, no…
Is this an emergency? Yes.
Is it new? Sadly, no…
Fires burn in the Amazon every year during this dry season (the season of “queimada”) It’s an old intersection of humans and the rainforest, and it is unequivocally bad for the planet. What's different in 2019 isn't that the Amazon is on fire, but rather WHY…

1. The National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) says it’s detected more than 72,000 fires between January & August - the most since records began in 2013. It’s observed more than 9,500 forest fires since Thursday. #AmazonRainforest @BBC bbc.in/2Mwrxtt
2. @NASA released satellite pictures from August 11 & 13. You can see smoke from the forest fires from space. In the Amazon region, fires are rare for much of the year because wet weather prevents them from starting & spreading. #AmazonRainforest
