People like the Kayapó have been stewards of the rainforest for centuries. Since Jair Bolsonaro was elected as president of Brazil last year, the Kayapó have been fighting to protect it from a president who has compared indigenous communities to animals living in zoos and who has allowed industry cut down more of the rainforest this summer alone than in the last three years combined, according to data released by Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research. Trees are cleared to plant soy or to make room for cattle pastures. Setting fires is one of the fastest ways to make space. There have been more than 74,000 fires in the Brazilian Amazon since the beginning of this year—a staggering 84% increase over the same period last year. This could be just the beginning of an even bigger tragedy if we don't come together today and start #turningthetide. The Amazonian rainforest is a priceless carbon sink that helps draw carbon dioxide out of the air to help us in our fight against the climate crisis.
