More trees that get cut down means changing a lush tropical forest to a extreme deasert
Heartbreaking! The most cruel species ever existed is human being 💔

cuz they be eating animals too
That's hard to prove, I mean we're a fingernail in the arm that Is earth's life.
T-Rexs could of been complete assholes for all we know.
@@thesquad827 ethical point aside, the whole reason the Amazon is on fire in the first place is because cattle ranchers have consistently used burn tactics to clear out forests. Logging doesn't even pose reprimand for 19% of deforestation in the Amazonas Basin. Yet legislators and nationalized party's don't want to address the root of the problem because they recieve ruralist support, financial assets (usually grease payments; advert cover ups and fiscal lobby tax dollars) and most importantly to multinational thugs a political foothold in the backroads of many urban centers. The agrubusiness sector, especially animal feed and husbandry shares, is so ridiculously gigantic it has outpaced most utility and retail corporates, only multinationals are of comparison. The thugs in uniforms running the profit margins of capitalism don't want to give up the benefits of liable allies in livestock business, the likes of which are so powerful they could price drop and destroy your entire business, or defame your personal acquisitions. So much so that even nonprofits like Greenpeace and the Sierra Club objected to their employees speaking out against the factory farming monopolies. Not to mention those pretty free range and organic labels are just liberal trash greenwashing to divert media attention to the false promise of justification for pesky habits, much similar to disposable plastic recycling conspiracies. The single best thing you can do is to stop eating at least meat or animal products altogether, next to mass transit and zero waste source reduction
@@Padge112 although that is true, mother nature is much more unquenchable for us to tame or manage, as evident to the anthropogenic environmental crisis. But what difference does that make in not stopping the 1% from killing everything around them including ourselves? It shouldn't matter whether other animals are brutalizing each other or not, or how self idealized and destructive other taxons are. We are different than them, we have such a high capacity for empathy and altruism that it is deeply rooted in our psychological nature, justice systems and mainstream culture. We don't have to wipe out other organisms, or entire regions, or even just indivdiuals for our own selfish convenience. We are not rabid and primitive, our social structure is highly moralized and we should not be harming others when we have the capability to not do so to such a high standard, especially in western society where information is easily accessible. We only cling to a realism approach on many things because a certain group of globalist elites tell us to because it benefits them and not us or the common people
Damn...sad to see that their government doesn't even care.
What government? This is isolated beauty being totally exploited.....one of the world’s main cores of natural importance being raped. The world itself is to blame for this. The whole earth and how it’s become. Everyone leeches of this through capitalism, globalisation etc etc.....whether its logging, soy or cattle farming...this is a human dilemma....planet earth humanity problem. You can’t just pity yourself and point fingers at the closest government to that area....it’s more than that now...yes it’s terrible, but we have to resolve this and that has to be the bloody attitude now.
I’m happy the government doesn’t care turn the Amazon into a golf course
Brazil is corrupt af. The government makes money off of the timber industry! That’s all they care about
Human's Greedy & Selfishness!
Humans again..
I don't suppose it occured to anyone that just maybe, there are too many humans on the Earth and all of them are exploiting a limited amount of rescources.
Don't worry. Super smart Eugenics freaks are developing worldwide vaccine programs to help control that. It's OK when it's a leftist idea that isn't spelt in German.
There's too many damn diseased Democrats in the world
One U.S falls the world falls and the human population shall fall
No ways are there too many people on earth. Only 10% in total of the earth is inhabited by humans. Linear system finite planet can’t run a linear system on a finite planet.
yes you are 100% right. 7.8 billion humans are exploiting and ripping the resources out of earth at the same time, starting a Mass Extinction. Wars will break out over who gets the food and water in the future.

yes true!!!! going vegan extends your life "Study telemer test".
Corporations and rich people being environmentally responsible would also be a big help.
Ex-vegan here. I went back to animal products because I couldn’t take the social stigma of veganism (I live in a right-wing rural area where veganism is associated with the extreme left). I also got tired of *needing* to take Calcium, B12 and K supplements just to stay healthy.
I’m still vegetarian, which is better than a meat-based diet for the Earth. I know it’s not ideal, but we all have to make compromises.
@@hayvenforpeace Veganism is not a diet - it is a moral principle to reduce unnecessary suffering we cause others as much as possible.
You could say you ate a plant based diet though. ✌️
Is social stigma a logical justification to kill/exploit another being unnecessarily?

Does anybody ever ask who is helping the criminal destruction of the forest? Who is buying the wood? Who is eating too much beef? Where are the illegal Amazonian products being imported? A great effort will be necessary from international governments to save the Amazon forest. Understanding basic economics; if there is a market there will be suppliers.
Check out amazon frontlines and other such NGOS - they know a great deal about the things you’re asking about
Exactly, the very countries producing these propaganda videos are the ones buying and supporting the destruction of the forest.
oh I know who they are(🇫🇷)
Yes, they do. Not certain but in order of magnitude probably USA for beef (+soy) & oil, China gold & beef(+soy), Europe: hardwood.
Mankind deserves all what comes. Mother Nature will win in the end. Sad we won’t be there to witness.
Too much population, too many old women claiming human rights. Great survival technique, if i was one of them, i would to.

Humans are selfish and fatally shortsighted.
US, 2nd biggest CO2 emitter, should regulate domestic carbon emission rather than focusing on foreign countries.
These elitests in the media (their executives & producers that determine the which subjects are shown and the message they allow or want put/pushed out) along with the world leaders they mingle with, will stop at nothing to use (by fear) every angle of "climate change fear" to attempt to influence & manipulate the minds of the people in order to get the people to give "climate powers & new authorities" to some UNELECTED group of elites in Europe somewhere WHILE CHINA (BIGGEST CARBON POLLUTER BY 3x , WHO'S BUILDING 1 NEW COAL BURNING PLANT EVERY SINGLE MONTH) WILL KNOWINGLY BE ALLOWED TO SIGN-ON WITH BIG SMILES TO ACCORDS & AGREEMENTS THAT EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS CHINA WILL LIE AND KEEP DOING EVEN MORE POLLUTING WHILE THEY SAY & DO NOTHING AND TAX, CRACKDOWN ON, AND IMPOSE EXPENSIVE FINES & STIFLING REGULATIONS ON AMERICAN COMPANIES !!! America will pay the losses/expenses to CARRY NEARLY THE WHOLE THING !....just like we do for NATO, WTO, World Health Organization, The U.N., etc. And this is why EVERY other country wanted "a shell of his former self" old puppet Biden in office, he will not stand up for America. Every person reading this knows I'm telling the truth but sadly, 8 or 9 out of 10 people will say or do NOTHING and just go along with it !

Are you serious?! Are we seriously going to point fingers while the frickin biggest rainforest in the world is dying?
@@gyurhanaziz7676 It is Brazil's domestic matter. no others can intervine in this issue. Because it's our resources, we have all the right to extract it just same as mining petroleum and natural gas in other parts of the world. we need to meet the growing needs of our population.
@@Nik-zf4xl I respect the sovereignty of nations but there should be some limits when we are talking about things that effect the world. Amazon is a good example. It hosts a mind blowing biodiversity and it is the lungs of Earth. I don't want it to end up like the Aral sea

A study released by the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA) points out that Brazil has increased agricultural productivity, standing out as a leader and protagonist in the low carbon economy. In other words, production increases, but carbon dioxide emissions decrease. The following are some data presented by the study: . Agricultural area in Brazil is one of the smallest percentages (7.5%); . Area destined for agricultural and livestock use together: Brazil has one of the lowest percentages (27.8%); . Areas of native and planted forests: Brazil has the highest percentage of its territory preserved (58.5%). The other countries have percentages below 35%.

How does one get donated 2nd hand equipment to who needs it most??
It would be great to get an army of people to go down there and stop these fools. It's incomprehensible that people are this stupid. Just makes one mad as hell.
So you want countries like the U.S that has destroyed most of its nature and killed most of its indigenous people to invade another countries sovereign territory, and steal it from them? Do you seriously think ultra capitalists world leaders are going to preserve nature instead of profit from it like always?
I’m down !!

Areas of native and planted forests: Brazil has the highest percentage of its territory preserved (58.5%). The other countries have percentages below 35%. SHARE THE TRUTH Ministry of the Environment government of Brazil
Brazil has 66.3% of its territory, that is, 631,758,477 hectares, preserved with native vegetation. The volume represents more areas of vegetation than that found in the United States (which has only 19.9% of native vegetation) and the European Union (with 17.9% of the conserved area) combined.
And agribusiness has a significant participation in this scenario, as 25.6% of the entire preserved area in our country is within rural properties. This means that the areas preserved within Brazilian farms alone are equivalent to ten European countries: Ireland, United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria and Italy.
This large extension of preserved areas in rural areas is thanks to the use of conservation practices, the adoption of modern technologies and the application of techniques such as Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration (ILPF). In this way, we achieve high productivity without the need to open new areas for agricultural cultivation and livestock production.
Brazilian legislation also favors environmental conservation, since the current Brazilian Forest Code, in force since 2012, determines the preservation of area on rural properties according to the biome where the farm is located. In the Amazon, producers need to preserve 80% of the property with native vegetation, in the Cerrado the requirement is 35% and in the other four biomes (Caatinga, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, Pampa and Pantanal) it is necessary to preserve 20% of the area.
Solution: Worldwide boycott of food from Brazil! Boycott to beef, grains, and other crops from those deforestation areas!
My God!!!
It would return to pristine rain forest if there were 6 billion fewer people on earth.
Never going to happen
overpopulation is the actual story
And ignorance
Eliminate half the population and now. Only way to save humans. But I could really careless I look forward to post apocalyptic America.
Nice one humans👎

It's clear you don't like to hear the truth. Doesn't change facts though
Looks like where I lived! Beautiful hardwood forest all cut downed and replaced with houses and condos. They called it progress, We don't respect the forests where we live why should the Peruvians!
Why no one planting.
Triple Threat not even counting natural threats yet there like here in California.
Sensationalism.
What would you suggest should happen to the amazon rainforest.
5:50 😂😂 Hey ABC, please stop spreading FAKE NEWS. This lady speaks Spanish, and Jair Bolsonaro speaks Portuguese lol
Amazon area covers other countries beyond Brazil.
This story is about Peru
What did they find by doing that
All these Christians in Brasil supported Bolsonaro. After that these Evangelicals will start to lecture moral virtues to the world
This is what happens when u prioritize individual rights over society's.
It’s still raining heavily in the Amazon rainforest
Its a fucking desert
Yes and it's better that way. We rock
Never was before you were born!
@@LK-pc4sq please, what do you mean ?
Already the result has been published - Historic drought in the Amazon
It's so much worse now.
What most people dont understand is the soil nutrients in the the Amazon is poor, it is the trees that are keeping the eco system alive, if they cut down the trees, it will become a deset, and you wont be able to every get it back, It would be like trying to plant a tree in the sahara desert.
This an important piece, and takes guts to expose the truth of human made destruction and encroachment into the natural world. I pray for a reversed trend of this unbalance, with new tendencies of returning the land to the earth and replanting. Its ok to say I do not want that tree cut down. The tree cutter may agree and leave it after understand the greater value in it from the all the species that call it home. One save by many equals forest saved. It never belong to us to begin with, yet we have coexisted from the beginning, and together hand in hand may we protect all life that does not speak our language so the forest may flourish. Change the heart and lead the mind. The earth is changing and we must adapted. Save some! We the People!

We now need to plant thousands, millions of trees in the empty spaces
So sad. Why don’t mankind leave nature alone!!!
This needs to stop

😦😢
They need a law to plant five trees for every one tree they chop down
Indeed, and that will make itself into a man made forest in the future
I grew up with those forests, and it reminds me that if the past can do it we should too
That's WAY too much math for these people.. Are you insane?
you better start preserving the amazon more
wheres all the outcry from the massive deforestation of the US/ that began in the early 1800's and continues til this day with cutting of forest to make wood pellets.
remember those huge red woods that used to cover northern california and oregon. Some of those trees where 2000 years old and only a tiny fraction exist now.
Its called civilization, progress requires sacrifice. if those countries can do what needs to be done to advance to a first world country,
fading?
If there is no ecosystem there is no planet Earth that's why they want to run to Mars but there is no ecosystem on Mars😳😳😳
why don't they try and get the plastic money, or destroying everything for the plastic money>
Mother's nature: I'm gonna send South America to hell
It's not mother nature fault ya know
What about the forests of you there? lol and Europe? Already gone.
Man, this video is fake. It has been a political issue.
Sad to see but with the way we as a species live life, what would you expect? It's money that drives the progression of the deforestation and almost always underpaid, underfunded and volunteers, that stand against a losing battle. It is a way of thinking that fuels this maddness and the children will pay for the way of life we have developed that is transcendentalism on many levels. Read my post.
Isn't the Amazon man made so like at one point in time The rainforests as we know it didn't exist

What a disaster !
Leave the forest alone
We gonna leave this planet as dry as mars one day
I used to be an environmental activist, but now I’ve lost the ability to care. Nothing will ever change meaningfully because there is too much profit and too many social norms tied up in the status quo. The Anthropocene will not stop until humans have taken everything from the Earth, and that’s an unavoidable fact.
I just hope that after we’ve finished terraforming our own planet for the sake of profit, some non-human life will still survive.
Have you considered environmental guerilla warfare?
Not building houses furniture boats with the wood. Burning it. Waste.

Just don't help Brazil when their economy collapses from poor forestry technics.
the wild life isnt smart enought to run from fire XD so funny
Bruh
They don't have a home when trees are being destroyed and don't know where to go lol use you're brain
And they do run from fires aswell. That's why you see no animal when they burn trees you doof
