RE: The pandemic did not stop the multiple forest fires over vast areas of the Amazon Rainforest

Brazil is not a first world country, there are a lot of unemployment, even hunger and despair. And in this human condition the florest preservation is a luxury. And it is easy to be "worried" about brazilian forest when the forest of your own country has already been exploited.

Greetings friend @discernente
The Amazon rainforest is one of the most diverse regions on planet Earth. In a way, I am referring to Brazil because it is precisely the territory where the largest forest fires have occurred; however, the call for reflection is for all the states and institutions involved, and certainly there is also a call for Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, French Guiana, Peru, Venezuela, and Suriname. Thank you for reading, and leaving your comment.
I agree with you, it is a pity to loose the biodiversity of the Amazon and I understand you preoccupation. But the Amazon is not an international territory, it belongs to sovereign nations that in theory are free to use its own riches as it pleases. We are not invading other nations to exploit their riches, we are just trying to do our best with the ones we already have.
I understand your approach, and in one way or another I agree with you, probably something similar happens to us with the Orinoco Mining Arc, where formally and officially only our state can determine what to do from an economic and environmental point of view. Now, the call that is being made is to generate proposals that tend to generate a balance between production and the environment, in the search to maintain sustainable use over time.
