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.

@@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.

The worst of all of this is that the most populated regions in Brazil (Southern East, where stands the most important capitals of the country, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro) were supposed to be a desert because of natural reasons but they're not deserts only because of the Amazon Rainforest and its important umidity.

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. Nobody in that history is the good guy!!
Well reminded. There are no innocents in this tragedy.
I know you're worried about the Amazon 😂😂😂😂😂 funny is it that in Europe or America there is no longer native vegetation then it's easy to accuse oh Brazil 🇧🇷 of being the villain of the environment 😡🤬
There is no environment in Europe or USA which is so essential for our world like the Amazon Rainforest. Some people refer to it as "the green lung of our planet" and that's why it's important to preserve it.
You as a person from Brazil should be thankful for all the economic help your country has received because of European or American fundraising. And no one said that all people from Brazil are to blame. It's the brazilian politicians and farmers fault and not Brazil as a whole country.

The Lorax is just a bleeding heart eco-nut hippy.
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.

If you would mate less, you could be less in number and live better as well.

“god knows what he’s doing”
yes he does but those humans dont
I cant believe they're using God as an excuse. When in reality they are covering for their GREEDY, SELFISH, CARELESS faces. So ironic and immature.
Human = We destroy and say God will take care of it. 0 accountability. I wanna punch them in the face.
God doesn’t exist tho
@@datitingammez Says who? Says the one who hasnt taken the time to know and study God. Quit being ignorant.
If you havent read the Bible and studied it. You have no right to criticize or judge or make blanket statements.
SR Real: Just playing devil's advocate, but can you provide any proof not from any religious texts of existence of a deity?
Victor Garcia absolutely has just as much right to criticize, judge, and make blanket statements as you do.
Vero Sim there is no god. This is living proof

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.

Apparently someone is wrong then
@@scinary7052 Eventually means soon or later :) Earth will always exist but the environment wont be livable for us tho :) Theres plenty of planets in space that are not suitable for us, just as earth once we make it deadly. Thus no magical god will save these silly fleas..
At this point we are shaking ourselves off by going to mars
True. What makes us think that Earth doesn't have a way to "cleanse" itself.
If I was earth, I send them Mothership UFO behavior HP Supercells with large hail and many tornadoes to people who are destroying amazon and bolsonaro with them.
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.

@@aklsamaan7622 bruh hes not bad it was the other presidents we are doing projects
My heart is braking when i watch this, save our environment this is all we have
I really wish Amazon, with all its money and resource, would make a big effort to save the actual Amazon!!
that would be some killer PR material, but Amazon runs on really low profit margins so their stock holders would never allow it.
@@scinary7052 lol amazon is one of the biggest companies in the world.
@@Beautifulcoil it's true Amazon have little margins but huge volume..
what can the company Amazon do if the government itself don't listen?
his owner is a satanist who wants ordinary people dead, therefore, nothing from your wish

@@EoDantez please don't lie to us and say that. you know it's not ok. we're slowly going to the extinction of everything but EVERYONE is so BLIND to see anything. we destroyed everything that was progressing just because "we need more resources". think again when you say something like that. you think it's ok because its not affecting you, when it really is. stop lying. nothing will be ok ever again.

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.
And I guess you've done the easiest and biggest change to your life in order to do the less harm as you could possibly do, right??

I hate looking at this it’s a sad truth
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 ;-;
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.
Only because you want beef
Well the people voted these politicians....
@@jjia6304 yeah just like Trump in the US , he's a right wing extremist
Greetings from Brazil
the government actually is investigating a group that set fire to the amazon, there have been various operations with water planes in the amazon so yes the government is doing something about it
It's funny the video showing so much Marina Silva. She was back then and now the ministry of environment and there's an investigation on her family doing illegal wood trade in amazon.
People think population growth doesn't come with these types of problems 🤦♂️
"This desert was once worlds biggest rainforest"
-Class 2040
Edit: I didn't know how to type desert at the time i commented this, otherwise, desserts are tasty
Dude that's extremely depressing.
I think in 2040 it will be semi arid. Only desert in 2060.
Just like what happened to Sahara. It was once a fertile area :(
that will never happen
mm.. I love dessert. but how can a dessert be a rainforest?
(I’m joking)
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.
Save Amazon Rainforest 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

the last 4 words he said is "Ela toda no chao" which translates to "All of it on the ground" saying that he wishes that literally the whole amazon is put down and transformed into farms
They forgot to put the Farmers ending statement "I would like to see her (The forest) all in the ground". Harsh

@@marteenyo Actually just plain greed. Question is "why" does the he want the forest gone?
So he can expand his farmland and make more money! He only sees $$$ growing on that land.

It's terrible that deforestation is continuing to happen on such a huge scale. It is linked to several problems throughout the world: global warming, flooding, soil erosion, animal extinction and so on. Their is no excuse whatsoever to deny the environmental impact of deforestation. Experts have been saying for years why it is so bad.
Is our demand for wooden products really so high? I certainly don't change my wooden furniture too frequently. Most of the wooden furniture in my home is over 30 years old. It's still in good condition and I have no plans to replace it anytime soon.
amazing documentry ...it inspired me to plant more trees. great job vox
i feel proud that in india now we have a prime minister who knows how balance environment and development.
The image of animals burning alive is horrifying
Rich people: “who cares if it benefits us”
All people: I don't care if I'm not directly affected.
When we are talking global terms,it's more like : "You people better stay poor because...You know~I just feel like a sedan is so claustrophobic~I mean~O.M.G!~"
@@lexluthor4156 no
if you eat beef then you're causing this as well
@@meginna8354 I eat beef and it comes from exclusively grass fed British and Irish farms, so no, I'm not contributing to this.
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.
This is called "brainwashing".
