This includes species like the Milton's titi monkey that's only been documented in the area of #Brazil now on fire.
There is fear we may be losing many of these endemic species. #ActForAmazonas @natashaldaly (3/4)

"The fires burning in the #Amazon rain forest are so large and widespread that smoke has wafted thousands of miles away to the Atlantic coast, according to the World Meteorological Organization"

Dès 2004, la Banque Mondiale produisait un rapport sur la déforestation en Amazonie.

On y lit ceci : "The main change in land use is unquestionably the huge expansion of the area devoted to planted pasture, which by 1995 covered some 70 percent of the deforested areas."
➡Entre 1970 et 1995, 70% de la surface déforestée correspond à des pâturages.

[Thread #Amazonie] Ces petits points rouges, le long de la route BR 163 dans l'Etat du Para au 🇧🇷, sont autant de feux allumés par les "fazendeiros" (gros propriétaires terriens), qui promettaient ce 10 août un "dia de fogo", un jour de feu.
La zone se situe autour de la ville de Novo Progresso (Nouveau Progrès, sic), peuplée de scieries et de gros cultivateurs de soja, qui ont suivi les chercheurs d'or et de bois d'acajou. Pour eux, "la forêt ne sert à rien" et doit être rasée. #Amazonie
L'ambiance qui règne sur place : lors d'un reportage, il y a une quinzaine d'années, nous avions été menacés par une quarantaine d'hommes armés : "Laissez-nous tuer nos indiens tranquillement" nous avaient-ils lancé (ici un leader Wajãpi assassiné en juillet au nord du 🇧🇷)
Avec le hashtag #PrayforAmazonia, certains découvrent que des incendies font rage en #Amazonie, notamment depuis fin juillet. Il faut évidemment en parler (#déforestation), mais il faut aussi savoir que, malheureusement, cela se produit chaque année de façon + ou - étendue. ⬇️
Pour commencer, d'où vient le chiffre "Les incendies en hausse de 83% en Amazonie" ? Il s'agit du taux d'évolution du nombre de départs de feu au #Brésil sur la période 01 janvier - mi-août 2019, par rapport à la même période de 2018 (et non de l'année complète).
Soit, selon les chiffres de l'INPE, 74.155 départs de feu au #Brésil entre le 1er janvier et le 20 août 2019, contre 40.136 en 2018 (132.872 sur l'année complète).

Every time I try to google info about the massive Amazon Rainforest Fire, I get results for the Amazon Fire stick. And that’s ridiculous.
So I’m making a thread with information about how devastating this is and why we should ALL be concerned #AmazonRainforest (📷: @Reuters)

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

Você sabe o que está acontecendo na Amazônia?
É importante conversarmos sobre a destruição da nossa floresta e a falta de atenção que o governo está dando para o assunto.

Você deve estar se perguntando da onde saiu tanto incêndio. Em 10 de agosto, fazendeiros do Pará anunciaram o “dia do fogo”. Um dos líderes afirmou que o evento teve o objetivo de “mostrar ao presidente que (os produtores) querem trabalhar”.

Agropecuários da região do Pará se uniram para queimar ao mesmo tempo diversas áreas já em processo de desmatamento. No primeiro dia do evento, foram 124 registros de focos de incêndio. No seguinte, o número saltou para 237. Produtores de outros estados aderiram ao movimento.
#Brazil Forces allied to #Bolsonaro have caused a huge forest fire, displacing an Indigenous community and MST camp.

California can use its $ & political solidarity to protect Brazil's forests."Cash crops pay more than trees.The CA Tropical Forest Standard would tip the economic scales in favor of keeping more land as forest & growing more crops elsewhere" ht @jonahbusch calmatters.org/commentary/cli…
Dutch govt supports its firms 'sustainable' invstmt in Brazil's Northern Corridor while its own internal studies show that it will worsen Amazon deforestation & conflict.
