We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world - and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

Will Brazil be able to overcome these obstacles and crack down on deforestation?
They could, but they won’t, sadly there’s not enough effort
Doubt it. Prove me wrong Brazil.
Please do a documentary on Indonesian rainforest too. There is not much left of them.
They will. They are a great nation 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Please do segment about forests in Europe through time. Brazil will look like a child in a deforestation game compared to Europe.
I believe so. Lula wants it, and foreign political forces want it. Europe for example is too lazy to protect its own (old) forests, so they are up to supporting protecting other forests.
There you go, she said it
The World is Eating Amazon, as a Beef, as a soyabeen,, as a corn.
EXACTLY ! 🌳🌴🌿🙏🏽🌳🌴🌿🙏🏽🌳🌴🌿🙏🏽🌳🌴🌿🙏🏽🌳🌴🌿
The soy and corn produce worldwide use mostly for animal feed so inefficient
This is why beef is a waste of space
On one hand the world desperately needs Brazil to retain the Amazon as it stays green all year round which allows it to soak up more carbon than the northern hemisphere. On the other hand it is kind of unfair and hypocritical to urge Brazil to do this when they have their own economic needs. Brazil is the 12th largest economy in the world and there is growing demand for their agricultural resources, namely from China as China has stopped buying from the U.S and decided to source from Brazil instead. Many of the countries voicing concern over the loss of the Amazon are countries that have already benefitted financially from destroying their forests and wetlands and now need to suppress Brazil's economic ag expansion to help slow CO2 output. So I can see both sides. Though suppression of CO2 and protecting indigenous lands is more important.
Another issue Brazil has that wasn't mention was gold poaching in the Amazon. The Amazon soil is rich in gold, so poachers erode the land with water to try to get all the gold to settle in one place then extract it using mercury. They will destroy acres of rainforest and poison the water with heavy metals just to pull a few ounces of gold from the area. Not to mention the process gives all the impoverished poachers cancer later in life.
Hopefully the Amazon can recover from this but with greed, economic expansion and land scarcity it is hard to say what will happen.
Amalgamation method it is called when extracting gold. That is sure a poisonous way to go. To yourself and the environment. I also like your insite on Brazil.💡
Excellently put! I would have liked this kind of pragmatism from this news outlet, and not the sensationalism and one-sided version they portrayed.
I hope it'll never recover. Humans are horrible, we need to stop, and the sooner the better.
Yes we all deserve to die IMO.
I don't think it's "unfair and hypocritical to urge Brazil" to protect the Amazon. Don't forget that Brazilians are being affected by the emergence of catastrophic weather events as much as anyone else in the world. The frequency with which Brazilians have been killed due to landslides and floods has only increased in recent years. And let's not forget the Brazilians whose lives are being disrupted by droughts in southern Brazil.
It is a fact that there is a positive correlation between the deforestation of the Amazon and catastrophic climate change within Brazil. Therefore, it is not unfair and hypocritical for Brazilians to urge their government to protect the Amazon. The protection of the Amazon is not only important for foreigners, it is vital for Brazilians as well. The Amazon is a global issue and Brazilians are included in it.
Brazilian politicians have no choice but to answer to the increasing environmental demands of the Brazilian electorate. Bolsonaro failed to answer to the concerns of the majority of Brazilians and lost the elections as a consequence.
The pain in her voice 'people are eating Amazon' I think should resonate with all of us, not because we all have to save to save this fragile ecosystem but because climate change is real and our conscious efforts should start Now before it's too late as very well addressed in the movie "Don't look up".
Is it really fair to ask poor countries not to exploit their natural resources while developed countries already have destroyed most of their environments to get rich?
It's a task that we all should take responsibility. Of course, the rich countries should be the ones leading this process, but we can't wait for that to happen. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷.
Hi Marin, very good question.🌱 Did you already watched our video where we discuss this?

Please share your thoughts in the comments. 🌲
They also destroyed other enviroments through colonialism. So... Yeah! Environmental activism coming from developed countries is full of hypocrisy.
@@DWPlanetA The things is, just paying is not enough.
Developed countries keep pushing underdeveloped countries to protect what they destroyed from their own territories for gains and development, while doing minimal effort into recovering exploited areas in their own countries, normally just recovering some areas with monoculture for logging (with zero diversity) and hypocritically calling it reforestation, while they keep emitting tons and tons of CO2 yearly with ever more consumerist societies, and constantly pushing into the future their own promises of reducing emissions.
Then when they need more development, they just shrug and find excuses to keep deforesting and polluting. Like Germany (and EU) that are OK with deforesting for expansion of a *COAL* mine in their own territory, but think it's absurd that Brazil cut trees for farming (that is much less polluting than coal mining) to promote it's own development (that is historically underdeveloped due to exploitation by Europe, which helped fund Europe's own development). Or USA that keeps pushing fracking and releasing tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, with new projects estimated to have emission *four times larger than all of the planet-heating gases expelled globally* each year.
The double standards are more than evident. Just paying peanuts trying to outsource responsibilities is not enough. It seems more like a way of developed countries diverting attention from their own wrongdoings so they can continue to not be held accountable, while they are the most responsible for climate change (and by a large margin).
No. That is why I am starting to get tired of western politics so much. Still colonialist, thinking they can scream to all the world how we should live to match their way of living.
"Oh, I think this life choice is better for us and the world, so you, our slaves, should find your way to live in a way that pleases us". What about let any society decide for their own? No? We are very primitive to decide by our own how to live. To the hell with that. Get out of here and go eat your bugs to save the planet you destroyed.
If the saving of Amazon depends on politicians, so yes, it's already lost
The bigger problem is that it depends on people voting for enviromental protections. Especially in poor communities that is going to be hard if its a choice between enviroment or escaping poverty.
@@tjeulink It's not that. Escaping poverty has more to do with social policies, basic infrastructure and land productivity. The profit of Brazilian agribusiness is great, but it does not go to small families, but to large landowners with kilometers of land, land that is not even located in the Amazon, but in large areas of savannah and fields that are also threatened biomes but nobody comments in the media.
@@tjeulinkIt's quite the opposite. The destruction of the forest do not bring any prosperity to the local communities, as we already saw in the recent Yanomami crisis or any other moment in your history, the destruction is made by big landowners that want more and more land and have a big support of the local authorities and even from the military.
@@dkmark7802 thats just not true. an great example is palm oil. palm oil really lifted communities out of poverty, but it destroyed the habitat of orangutans for example and deforested large swaths of land. the problem with palm oil is that those communities rely on palm oil, we can stop buying it but that economy would just collapse without something else for those people, because literal millions of people own very small palm oil farms. european legislation really fucked over those people because the initial investment into biofuels and then the massive reduction in palm oil when problems came to light. leaving a lot of local farmers out hanging to dry when they invested everything they had into those farms.
@@tjeulink isn't palm oil an issue from SE Asia instead? The other comments are right, deforestation in Brazil is largely for big landowner's profits, and more recently criminal groups of outsiders.
If western governments encourage their citizens to stop eating chicken and pork it would go a long way to weaken the demand for soy from the Amazon. Though I dont see that happening in most countries
Beef has way more carbon footprint. That's what we need to stop eating, not chicken.
@@WaveRider1989 chickens eat soy from the Amazon. We need to stop eating both
@@ParanormalSchkitzo beef and porc are a much bigger issue than chicken is. They don't even compare really.
Correct. Once other countries don't need to rely on exports of products from other countries that's when we will see the light.
@@Aegis23 if you talk about co2 emissions, yes. But those calculations dont account for amazone destruction for the food production for chickens.
The most depressing takeaway: At the best of times deforestation was down by 80%, so the forest was still being cut down, albeit at a slower pace.
Its impossible to protect the forest when the west market want wood based product, same story in Indonesia.
Don't blame west for it. It's China that buys all the food and sugar coming from Amazon.
It's not that the West wants wood that it cannot get elsewhere. Sweden, Norway, and the US among many others in the West are remarkably effective at relatively sustainable methods of forestry.
@@unconventionalideas5683 since when? Indo have sent their wood to western country even before they have independency
Interesting video! Great to see more awareness on this topic.
Amazing 👏👏👏👏👏 thank you for great video
Thank you Luciana, our pleasure! 🌸🌱
We certainly hope Brasil along with the rest of the world can find solutions to put this important ecosystem back in balance.
What did you do with the forests in your country?
This is a global problem. We destroyed our forests. That’s exactly why we can’t allow that to happen to the Amazon too. This “what aboutism” is just a distraction. All countries are responsible.
Well atleast India is doing something, India is on a mission to make India much greener and it's been confirmed through satelite imaging that the forest area in India has grown and is growing past recent years
Other countries have to help and pay for the protection of the Amazon!
this hurts, so much..
As a Brazilian leftist, I perfectly understand that Amazon needs to be protected, but at the same time, I fear foreign interests in our forest might not be 100% honest when they say they only want “save the world from climate changes”.
É puro interesse para obter espaço na corrida de tecnologias verdes num futuro próximo. Os grandes problema do desmatamento da amazônia são a perda de biodiversidade e dos "rios flutuantes", que nem sequer são lembrados. Se tivessem real interesse em controlar o CO2 investiriam massivamente em energia nuclear e em acelerar a troca de carros a combustão para os elétricos ou a hidrogênio, e puniriam vigorosamente a contaminação/destruição dos ecossistemas aquáticos causada pelos pesqueiros chineses em alto-mar.
They aren't 100% honest. The gold mined in the Amazon ends up in rich countries. A Norwegian mining company was responsible for severe pollution of rivers in the Amazon. And there are several similar stories, like biopiracy. The best way for Brazil to secure sovereignty in the Amazon is protecting the forest and give no reason for someone else to intervene.
You are on the money. You decide what happens to the Amazon, not Western governments.
Interesting enough, global left wing do not care about Amazon, only the globalist capitalists. Ask China If they are willing to stop eating soy, corn and milk from Amazon. Ask Russian, ask Iran... I am tired of this green disguised capitalism, that is worse from his previous form.
It's like they say recycle yet they export all their trash to China and hope china did all the dirty job for them, and complain when china produce pollution when recycling their trash.
Besides protecting existing forests and reforestation efforts, City planning also plays a part.
City planners and managers can take a page from Singapore's playbook.
Plan areas of plants and trees within the urban city and lay pavements and roads with trees.
Reduces urban heat as well besides being in-city CO2 absorbers
Great video! It would also have been good to know for how much deforestation the different agriculture activities are responsible for. As far as I know, Cattle ranching is the biggest contributor to deforestation, accounting for approximately 80% of deforested land. So it might be enough to regulate/reduce/boycott only this part of the system?
The whole global north should donate money for saving Amazon
They used to. But Bolsonaro disregarded it and they stopped.
Dev. country struggle saving forest, reducing co2 emission while rich country keep emiting large waste and co2. I hate people driving big ass engine car 5000cc supercar
As someone who actually lives in the amazonic region, here in my region the loggers that invade virgin forest areas, cut the noble trees to sell, then they sell the portions of the invaded forest for a low price, usually to poor families that work and cultivate the land and then after a while, mostly because they are all quite poor, these families sell the now clear areas to big farmers for a low price again. Here where I live, there are a hundred of people in the invaded lands, during Bolsonaros administration there were 3 operations, the army, national force, and IBAMA("environmental police"), expelled and fined everyone, and then the people just tore up the fines in front of the environmental authorities and told them to write down another fine, cause they would come back, one week later everybody was back, the authorities never came back here. The state has all the power, resources, structure, and capacity to stop the deforestation in all Amazonia, they just not wanna do it, so they just blame past governments, and agribusiness, and this and that, when the real problem is that no one really wants this to stop. Pretend to be doing something, omit, hide, give bread and circuses, show yourself as a solution while letting the nation perish. Eia Sus!

The Amazon, the Congo basin, and the Indonesian rainforests are all global resources that the entire planet benefits from... in regions that are crying out for economic development. It doesnt seem unreasonable to me that the world pools in to fund these regions, through an organisation like the UN, on the condition that deforestation is strictly managed and reduced. I dont know if such deals have been done in global climate summits, but they should have been. As has already been mentioned, Europe has already benefitted economically from clearing its forests, so it's not unreasonable to ask us to contribute now.
Thank you❤🌹🙏, dear DW Planet A team. Please🙏🌍 🌏🌎people help save the planet, eat less meat🥩, drive less, go 🥦🥕🌽vegan if you can! Help save beautiful😍❤✨ tropical🌴 🌲forests!
It's probably too late. Brazil doesn't have the money to stop all the logging/farming/destruction quick enough.
The country is trying to capture resources to the Amazon Fund.
We can preserve the forest. But not for free. It's our territory, we should be able to use it. If you want us to protect it, we need actual financial incentive.
Carbon credits were a good idea, but europe was quick to bend the rules and ruin the system to favor corruption.
Preserving is not cheap, nor it's cheap to not use the riches in the region. The only way to preserve is by throwing money at it.
Also Europe is the prime client for ilegal wood removed from the amazon forest.
The amazon is inportant in regularing the earths climate if you distroy it you will be affected as well furthermore the amazon is a self sustaining ecosystem once it is gone it will never come back one of the most ecological diverse regions on the planet will be gone for short term profit oce the land is exhausted by intensive farms the soil will not be replenished there will be massive flooding becouse the regulation of rivers will be gone as well as really bad drought and heat
“We can save the world, but not unless you pay us for it!” 🤡

I am favorable to any agenda that helps protect the environment. But it is clear that this rhetoric is just a way to halt developing countries to compete, develop and be soveteign to their own territories.

Heartbreaking 😢
Love the orchid Ilona has in the background
I'm from indonesia, it is the same problem with our kalimantan forest.. while i do support the green movement.. it is progress..
our country is still a developing country, if we want to be a developed country.. our path might be similar to the past of most developed countries around the world.. developing countries need massive economic boost.. there are countries that already pledge not to tap to "dirty energy" but in return we need help.. guess what the other countries do ?
The prime example is Europe with their high energy demand.. while they preach green energy movement, but the moment they are uncomfortable with the change.. they revert back and start fire up their coal power plant..
Europe has fallen into that hole mostly because they shut down nuclear power out of fear (and ignorance) after Fukushima.
I'm from Brazil and understand that preaching for "progress" over environment is another trap. Our economy already relies too much on agriculture, true development comes from industry and specially technology nowadays. Deforestation for crops/cattle is just the lazy way for the few and already powerful ones.
They wants us their slaves forever. They destroyed the planet, now they want us to eat bugs to save it. Let them eat bugs or living from sun light and let us alone. I am happy that China and most other partners Brazil has do not care about Amazon.
Lol, there is a saying in Brazil and It is: only for the English people to watch". It means doing worthless stuff Just to make Europeans believe we are doing something. This amazonian bullshit will be that: manipulate data and continue the Gold extraction (done by the Europeans themselves).
DW, please make a documentary about Syntropic Farming, Agroforestry, and Permaculture. These three methods preserve the forests and create more abundant agriculture without destroying the environment and the soil. And without spending a lot of energy as Vertical Farms do. It may solve the problems of Agriculture (more food production) and Climate Change because in this method you need to combine agriculture with trees at the same time. Adding a variety of many different tree plantations with a variety of agriculture enriches the soil and also increases the production.
In a nutshell, the Swiss geneticist Ernst Götsch (the creator of Syntropic Farming), in the '80s, tested his method first on a very degraded area in the northeast of Brazil (in the state of Bahia). In the beginning, he recovered the degraded areas then he started to plant many trees and do agriculture at the same time. The area that was almost totally degraded has become totally green (a big forest) again.
For some decades now he is planting high-value and quality cocoa - that has been exported to Europe - he can plant and harvest and at the same time preserve the forest. The trees serve as protection and even fertilizer for the plantation. Syntropic Farming is close to Agroforestry but they are not the same, as well as permaculture. Right now, Ernst is trying to create machines to test his techniques in large plantations. As conventional machines were not created to be suited to maintain and preserve forests and work next to many trees. He already started a project with the "Fazenda da Toca" (Burrow's farm or Den's Farm in simple translation) to test Syntropic Agriculture in big lands. But, probably the german advanced engineering and machinery innovation could help to accelerate this process a lot. Some machines are being made in small industries in the south of Brazil, but Germany has more technology and expertise to do that faster.
Note: Ernst also tried his methods in almost all types of soils. Even in the Brazilian semi-arid (Caatinga) it worked marvelously. In European soils too (Portugal, Spain). In Australian soil too. I choose Syntropic Agrofloresty because it is easier to apply in big plantations. In big lands.
We don't have a video on Syntropic Farming, but thank you for the suggestion and for this further information 🤩
We 𝘥𝘰 have video on agroforestry and permaculture though 🤗

It's literally named for wood export. How do you think?
I do hope so
it’s important to note that even though deforestation dropped 80%, it was still there. Whether it takes 10 years or 100 years, it was and still if marching towards certain death
If you can cut deforestation a lot, then restoration of old areas can start to offset the deforestation that is still occurring, if we play our cards right.
@@unconventionalideas5683 the stats are defined by comparing total cover. The Amazon has never grown a single year since before 1970
Brazil is major soy exporter, but we not heard ban the soy like ban palm oil campaign. But fun fact if they plant palm oil instead of soy they can reduce cleared forest to only 1/3 of total cleared forest for al those soy plantation.
2023 and amazon is burning more than ever
Maybe a solution could lie in limiting the size of Rainforest parcels cleared, as well as mandating some Area of Rainforest remain undeveloped between parcels of cleared Land? It'd probably help with Migration Routes for IUCN-protected species, though preserving the Pampas is essential to preservation of all ecosystems within the Amazon basin as well. They're all connected; converting Pampas to Pasture reduces its Production even if it reduces loss of Livestock to Predation. Tropical rainforest or floodplains produces Food year-round; modern Agriculture only benefits predictability/consistency or uniformity of Harvest at the cost of vastly increasing Fertilization, Irrigation, and Labor required. There's also the effect of centralizing or consolidation Ownership and Production; though that's generally considered desirable or "Progress" in a Western Capitalist context.
I love you DW!
Soy bean and beef are eating out the Chaco region too (the second largest forest in South America after the Amazon, and the larged dry tropical forest)
Just in February deforestation has hit its highest level in 15 years

@@FranciscoJG cnn Brasil
To be economically fair to Brazil, How can the world give monetary motivation to Brazil for reforestation in the Amazon?
I so wish there was a better way to trade between countries not just for the commodities like corn, beef, soy etc but also oxygen.
Brazil has the Amazon Fund to estimulate reforestation in the area and also to switch to a sustainable economic activities in the region. However a few countries donate to the Fund and the value they have given is low. Currently, the government is trying to capture investments from rich nations. The president was even invited for the G7 meeting this month.
I have not heard much about the Amazon Rain Forest sence I was in year 7. I did a project to present the 2019 forest fires, and I was in awe in how big the fires really are, and then been isolated in the news about the rain forest sence then. It is nice to know what is happening right now, and man it does not look good right now. I hope the government gets lot's of support. Even thought all the odds are staked agenst the march, in stoping deforestation. May the forest prosper in all of it's inhabitants. Also look at the top comment on James P, he is spot on in his say, so read it if you want more insite.
While during Bolsonaro's catastrophic government the Amazon emissions reached 1.5 billion tonnes of CO2 a year, did you know that boreal forest fires from the US and Europe emitted 1.76 billion tons (or 1,6 tonnes) of CO2 in 2021?
It's more than the worst from the Amazon, yet the attention seems to be directed only at one. So keep in mind that there's more interests involved than just the preservation of the environment. The global north likes to diverge attention from their own mess.
Let’s use Ecosia
Give credit to Diatoms too, they eliminate most co2 of the world
Why are only developing countries responsible for climate change Why aren't America and European countries not. developed countries, who make billions of dollars from industrialization. Developed now talk about climate but not helping others poor and developing countries by giving technology and money ( Germany's per person plastic waste is highest but he talks about how india waste plastic) every American person uses Earth resources like we have 3 planets. Americans and Europeans tell India to not buy cars it is harmful for climate but there in America every home has a 1 car minimum.
Europeans think that their parliament consists of angels. Europe and the US sold their forests 100+ years ago. There is little left of giant redwoods on the west coast of the US like it was just in the 1900s. They cut trees in PNW like there is no tomorrow. I live here, I see it. No one mentioned that though. Western governments are mostly dysfunctional, but like to teach others. Where are German forests? They are all gone centuries ago. Kuddos to Brazil for protecting their forests to survive till modern times as US and Europe couldn't do it. None of the European countries can patronize Brazil as they themselves chose agriculture instead of forestation a LONG time ago. Developing countries will be the only HOPE in this mess that was created by the WEST. I'm a strong believer in that.
If you look at the statistics per capita or compare 2 countries India and China, you will be surprised how sustainable India is. With the billions of people living in India, India has less of an impact compared to Western countries and China. I still believe China can turn it around as they are controlling production and can influence the world the most. Western opinions are not so valid as they are very hypocritical.

82% of Amazon are preserved in Brazil. Only 18% has been deforested. The deforestation began in 1960. In 60 yeas only 18% has been deforested.
Yeah and just 1°C raise in global temparature causes such severe environment crisis. 18% may seem small but it's not considering the vastness of Amazon, the problem raises when those deforested places are not taken care of properly like reforesting.
really great video
Yes, the Amazon it´s own by Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, etc, but it´s role it´s a continental matter, and a global matter. One of the reasons why Argentina and Uruguay suffered the most severe drought in 70 years, it´s because the humidity which condenses down here, comes from the Amazon rainforest. No trees=no humidity
Greece, Tasmania, California
There used to be a billion acres of forests in the US but when Brazil begins logging, now there's an issue. Poverty rates went from 10-13% down to 4.1% in 3 years under Bolsonaro. To compare poverty rates, US has 11% of the population in poverty with a family making roughly $136 a day. In Brazil, they make $3.20 a day. If it's about carbon, the destruction of seagrass, mangroves, salt marshes and tundra should have more or similar importance since all sequester more CO2 than forests. Brazil's mangroves alone sequester anywhere from 4-10 times as much carbon in the same area as the Amazon(4-10 acres of Amazon = 1 acre of mangroves). If it's about species, conservation needs to be done but taking into account that 1/10 families lived on 2% of the American poverty rate, some action needed to be done.
Actually poverty skyrocketed as did hunger, it only decreased temporarily during covid in 2021 due to the covid checks, state assistance, but it shot back up and higher in 2022, still under Bolsonaro, the leader who caused the greatest damage to brazilian economy in history.
@@FOLIPE Ignoring the decrease in poverty from 2019 and 2020 is crazy and not taking into account the affect COVID had on the entire world economy literally makes no sense. It must just be coincidence that almost every single countries poverty rates also increased during 2021 and 2022! By your reasoning, Brazil was only affected because Bolsanaro was the leader. The poverty decrease that you attribute in 2021 to government checks can also be attributed to economic growth from 2019 and 2020 which resulted in an increase in jobs and an increase in usable land for economic gain, but I bet it was the free money that did it.
With a President that actually cares about the environment, Brazil may be going in the right direction in restoring and protecting the Amazon again.

Then the following year it was drastically reduced to just bare minimum. That is why his percentage of reduction was so high because it contrasted with his first year. Hopefully that doesn't happen again this year.
By the way, one of the plants you showed to represent Amazon biodiversity in the beginning are pitcher plants from Asia and do not grow in the Amazon.
The alt-right is the greatest threat in this issue. Bolsonaro didn't come out of nowhere. He used to be on the fringes of brazilian politics, but he became relevant in the same process that led to Brexit and Trump' election. We need a common ground for political discussion, and we can't have that with social media as it is now.
Shame on Brazil
Nicely done planet A
İn this case, Brazil cannot solve the problem by stopping deforestation alone. They should bring back the forest.
Comment for engagement!
isso mesmo, salve amazonia
Still waiting for DW to demand European and North American nations to restablish their original forest cover. Brazil has 59% of its total land covered by forests. The USA has 33% and Germany 32%. I guess you have a long way to go before demanding anything from us.
We do not have a video on forest coverage in the USA and Germany, but we do have several videos on Germany's failure to address their greenhouse gas emissions that you might like:

Of course NOT!

Greed has always been mankind's downfall. The rich will move somewhere else and keep doing what they do. The US has a history of putting profit before health. I would not be surprised if US companies are involved in your struggle.
The Amazon is gone. Done.
it never had a chance
If they need help then they only have to ask and help will come.. I'm ready for duty .. not hard to replant trees
Just replanting trees does not restore the ecosystem many areas arohnd the amazon turn into dry Savanah even with restoration projects the amazon forest is a self sustaining ecosystem once you fall below a certain percentage of the original biomass the ecosystem will collapse
Brazil just hit a record high of deforestation under Lula
Aha
Solution: Worldwide boycott of food from Brazil! Boycott to beef, grains, and other crops from deforestation areas!
E QUANTO AO TEU PAÍS DE MERDA ?

The best way to make people care about the envoirment is to raise them out of the poverty line, and I'm afraid you can't do that on a carbon neutral way.
Left wing envoirmentalist ideologues need to be put face to face with their hypocrisy.
Yes we can. Deforestation for crops/cattle is just the lazy way, usually benefiting only a few (that already are rich and powerful).
Right wing conformists always ignore that lifting people out of the poverty line also demands things like fiscal justice, and are extremely hypocritical by neglecting national investments in science while calling themselves "patriots".
Save the Amazon
Spoiler before watching the video: no.
But also europeans will not mind that if it's Lula who's in charge
Please talk about what Lula is doing to take the indigenous communities along
The Communist Guerillas need the Forests to maintain drug production 😂
Save Amazon
Let's cut the forest and see what happens, when there will be irreversible problems that's when humanity will be forced to answer to the nature not our greed.
Resume of the video: Lula is great, bolsonaro is bad. So much ideology ...
Well there's no lie lol
Did you see what happens when you play with deve see you there is GOD
It feels somewhat disingenuous to tell a country that it can't exploit it's own natural resources to generate wealth when the countries that are criticizing Brazil have probably cut down more trees and burned more coal than Brazil ever has. If you want Brazil to stop cutting down trees, how about you pay them to be your precious little carbon sink?
Hey there 😊 thanks for your comment! We did a video on the topic of climate reparations 👉th-cam.com/video/KGOvRn5_QRg/w-d-xo.html. Hope this is helpful. Let us know what you think ✨
Remember when people used to talk about BRICS? Now it's just IC.
RED SALUTE TO LULA FOR SAVING MORE TREES🌝
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk o desmatamento aumentou aqui no Brasil em 2023 vai se enformar agora o Brasil vai vender pra china,irã, Rússia
Fazueli😂😂😂😂😂
It is a pity that such a important video is wrong technically and childish in its analysis. Amazon is not a net CO2 absorver, neither is explored because of Theo greedy. It is explored because It is allowed. But why every government since Theo 70' allowed? You should ask yourself when writting the video script otherwise it will bê naive and misinforming like this one....
If brazil wanna cut its forest. Its their right.
And the rest of the planet will be seriously affected by it

Amazon is the type of humid forest that means the forests consumes almost 100% of its oxygen production. The advantage of such forest is to keep potable water for the local settlements.
