Concerned ecologists. In the past 12 years, the Amazon rainforest has been the most destroyed in 2020. In just one year, 11,006 square kilometers of forest have been cleared, according to a recent report. Environmentalists point the finger at current Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for the incident. They claim that Bolsonaro has encouraged deforestation.
The Amazon rainforest attracts a large part of the world’s total carbon emissions. That is why this jungle is called the lungs of the earth. There are around 3 million species of trees, animals and insects in this forest. There are about a million tribes. This tribe has been protecting the jungle for a long time. With the advancement of civilization, the jungle has also been gradually destroyed. But in the last two decades, the trend of deforestation has slowed somewhat. The main reason is that environmental awareness has increased around the world. There has been a lot of talk about global warming. According to environmentalists, Amazon can resist global warming.
The problem is that the current president of Brazil, Bolsonaro, is not so concerned about the environment. He openly advocated the destruction of the Amazon. In 2019, it issued a deforestation permit to extract mineral resources from the Amazon region. It has also given authorization for cultivation in the Amazon region. There have been many protests.
According to environmentalists, 7,536 square feet of Amazon was destroyed in 2006 for the so-called development. The issue is still debated in various sectors. Then several decisions were made to protect the Amazon. When Bolsonaro came to power in 2019, he began to thwart all of those decisions and began destroying the forest again.
Environmentalists say that the way the forest has been destroyed over the past year, if it continues, will soon begin to have an effect on the climate.
