The reason? The Brazilian government is letting it happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">The far-right administration of President Jair Bolsonaro has loosened strict environmental policies and has not cared much about the recent numbers that show an increasing<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>deforestation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Since the beginning of 2019, Brazil\u2019s National Institute for Space Research (INPE) has reported 72,843 fires throughout the country, with more than half of these being in the Amazon region. This means the equivalent of more than a soccer field and a half of Amazon rainforest is being destroyed every minute of every day, according to INPE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Bolsonaro has dismissed the reports made by INPE\u2014which also showed an 80 percent increase in deforestation so far this year compared to last year\u2014and fired INPE\u2019s director, Ricardo Galvao. Without any type of evidence to support his allegations, Bolsonaro claimed that the reason for these massive fires in the Amazon could have been from non government organizations (NGOs) hostile to his presidency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cWe took money away from the NGOs,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are now feeling the pinch from the lack of funding. So, maybe the NGO types are conducting these criminal acts in order to generate negative attention against me and against the Brazilian government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">However, environmental organizations have previously said the fires began with increased land-clearing and logging that was encouraged by the country\u2019s pro-business president. When confronted with the data and numbers rom these studies, Bolsonaro frequently lies, blaming and accusing others to cover his lack knowledge about many subjects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">During Bolsonaro\u2019s presidency, Brazil\u2019s Ministry of the Environment has facilitated deforestation with the cancellation of fines, the dismissal of servers and the weakening of protected area guarantees. Since his election, Bolsonaro has cut the budget of the nation\u2019s environmental enforcement agency by $23 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Bolsonaro\u2019s Environment Minister dismissed 21 of the 27 superintendents of the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) earlier this year on Feb. 21, and announced a \u201ccore of environmental conciliation,\u201d set up in April to review the agency\u2019s fines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">When asked what would be his next actions to diminish the damages, Bolsonaro said that he is considering sending army troops to help combat the fires raging in the Amazon. Executive action to deploy troops is only available when traditional public safety measures have been depleted, according to guidelines from the Ministry of Defense. The Amazon states of Acre and Amazonas have already declared a state of emergency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><strong>Why the Amazon is important and why it must be preserved<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The world\u2019s largest rainforest, the Amazon spans eight countries and covers 40 percent of South America\u2014an area that is nearly the size of two-thirds of the United States, according to the World Wildlife Fund. More than 30 million people live in the Amazon, which is also home to the largest diversity of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles on the planet, most of them unique to the region. A new plant or animal species is discovered there every two days. The Amazon forest, which produces about 20 percent of earth\u2019s oxygen, is sometimes referred to as \u201cthe lungs of the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">When we talk about how important it is to preserve the Amazon, we have to refer back to one notable leader who initiated the movement to maintain and protect the Amazon from the<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>dangers of deforestations and fires. Environmental activist Chico Mendes pioneered the world\u2019s first tropical forest conservation initiative, advanced by forest peoples themselves. His work led to the<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>establishment of Brazil\u2019s extractive reserves (protected forest areas) that are inhabited and managed by local communities. Chico Mendes and his colleagues were a tiny, marginalized minority in the 1980s, but their efforts brought them to power in parts of Brazil\u2019s Amazon by the end of that decade. Tragically, Mendes became world-famous only when he was gunned down for his work in 1988.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><i>As of press time, the fires in the Amazon are still burning. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil\u2019s Amazon rainforest is burning at the highest rate since 2013.
