The Amazon rainforest has been reduced by about 17% since the 1970s. Cattle ranchers, loggers, and farmers are mostly to blame for the deforestation, but the demand driving them comes from all around the world. Brazil's economy depends on agriculture, especially beef and soy, which is grown on cleared land in the Amazon. Today, president Jair Bolsonaro, is weakening the environmental protections there in order to give agriculture more power. This came to a head when, in summer 2019, more than 30,000 wildfires burned in the Amazon, sparking worldwide outrage.

“Only when the last tree is cut down and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish been caught we will realise that we cannot eat money” - Cree Indian Proverb
Dolan Dark , it's not for man to cause destruction of earth as an excuse to prove a point about money or any other philosophical beliefs. Leave earth out of it.

There’s no need for money when the earth is gone

@@elninorosario Not really. In Brazil the big farmers that are burning down the Amazon are often from families who had land with sugar cane and coffee crops in the Southeast since the XIX century when slavery was still legal. Some are descendants of European immigrants who were granted free land in the South by the government in the 1910's. The point is, you need a lot of money to invest in a farm like his, so these people aren't poor, they just want more and more money. The majority of the poor people in the Amazon probably would benefit more from sustainable activities than from farmland in the hands of the ruralistas.

I dont think these ruralista scoundrels understand that the only reason the farms have decent soil and land is because of the moisture and groundwater that rains due to the vast amount of trees that transpire water. Once those trees are gone, there will be no more rain, thus no more crops and profit, thus making the entire ruralista movement a scientifically proven lose-lose situation.
Read this and educate others. The ruralista movement is devoid of any reasoning and logic and will be irreversible. The government of Brazil must educate it's people that once those trees are gone, all the prolific farmland and farming industry will go with it. The. entire Amazon forest will become a desert due to lack of the vast quantities of transpired water.

Everyone is saying how the kids of the future will be like “so your telling me the Amazon dessert used to be a rain forest?!” But the sad truth is they’ll probably be like “what’s a rain forest?”
Another problem with the Amazon is the investments of other countries, the Amazon has a lot of precious stones, water and a great biodiversity (as one of the main materials to make Channel N°. 5 was a leaf that was highly explored. The chance of this financial aid in favor of biodiversity being a mask for financial interests in the future for exploration are great, even more in relation to the water that will end one day. There are other areas in Brasil and other countries with unique biomes and also a lot of biodiversity, but these countries do not appear to link with the loss of other forests and animals, but they care about the one that have gold and a lot of water, this is really weird and suspect.The Amazon must be preserved and the local economy should be supported by ecotourism with a lot of supervision.

It can be in Portuguese, English, Chinese or Tupi Guarani, while all the countries in the world (mainly the rich ones that destroyed their forests) do not assume the responsibility for paying the maintenance of the forest to Brazil, there will be no preservation. You, who must live in a deforested place) tell a resident of the Amazon that he cannot cut a tree to support his family... At the very least, they will say things that you would not want to hear.

the real problem is the soybean oil, not the soybean meal that they feed to livestock. soybean meal is just a waste product of soybean oil production.
I can't stand the madness of that farmer's comments! Why are some people so narrow minded and focussed only on short-term profit? If the forest goes, you won't have a farm, you'll have a dessert - good job.

I will never forget the day ( 2019 ) when Amazon Forest was burning so hard that even in my city - 3000 km far away - I could see the dark clouds and dust in the sky like the forest was claiming for helping. I think Amazon should be protected by others countries for sure, - before it's too late-. I don't care about economic growth because I am just worried about the environment before anything else.

that would be some killer PR material, but Amazon runs on really low profit margins so their stock holders would never allow it.

Deforestation shouldn't be illegal
It should be inconceivable
Let's see how the ranchers and farmers sustain their business without fresh water, as soon as the Amazon can't cycle water through the forest anymore.
Google Earth is a depressing resource of information concerning this topic.
I guess the smartest ones will retire their way out of this, that's why they're not scared. To you think that farmer on the vid will live long enough to see this?
We have to filter oceans water
@@perobusmaximus Yes, we need to because nature can no longer sustain so many greedy humans. Destroying the Rainforest will only make things harder in the long run.
They're prepared and informed about the long-terms profits. If not they won't waste their limited funding.
A lot of people: “Why isn’t the government doing anything?!”
Well now we know they are doing something; the government is aiding the deforestation effort
I wonder how much the big companies are paying these disgusting pieces of human beings.

“We are the virus and earth is the victim.”
Not "we." A select group of conservative politicians and billionaires who profit off of the destruction of the rainforest.
And now the earth created a virus to wipe us out

The earths biosphere is suffering. The great planet below us isn’t affected even at the slightest
We are literally the frog in a pot of water, slowly turning our own stove hotter and hotter boiling ourselves to death.
Basically, 1.) Preserve the forest by declaring more protected AREAS , 2.) improve productivity in the the ranches and the already existing fields and farms 3.)promote sustainable use of the forest( that too restricted)
Why shoud sustainable use be restricted
Greed and ignorance will eventually decimate the life on earth.
Humanity will flourish
@Sachie Reid What do you mean "eventually"? It's already happening.
Ok so here’s the deal, I’m a Brazilian and fires like this happen every year even worse sometimes. But this new government is the first to really start stamping out corruption, so they are trying to make the new government look bad in any way possible so that is why this is actually happening.
Good. Life is overestimated anyway. Support climate change.
We are already doomed ;-;
Deforestation in Indonesia is also at a staggering and heartbreaking rate. Forest fire happens every year, putting millions of South-East Asian people's health in danger.
On which islands? Papua?
Mainly on Sumatra and Kalimantan, other islands as well

with same reason as Brazil deforestation, just here they will use it for palm oil. And like meat, everyone use palm oil.
This is so depressing, as a Brazilian, I feel deeply ashamed of this situation and how we are currently viewed by the international community
Fds a comunidade internacional, deveríamos fazer o máximo para preservar, pq realmente é importante, e n para agradar ninguém, ajuda é bem vinda, mas eles querem nos deixar como vilões, ficam inventando coisas, isso é um tipo de estratégia q ja foi usada em guerras, para q eles fiquem com a razão.

The destruction of the rainforest was the first environmental issue I ever learned about, when I was about 6. It made me angry even at that age not only because of what its consequences would be, but because deep down I knew I or anyone else was powerless to stop it.
