How can you help the Amazon rainforest right now as fires burn

“YOU CAN SEE THE SMOKE FROM SPACE!”

The Amazon provides 20% of oxygen for earth and it’s burning at a record rate right now and for the past 3 weeks. This is a WORLD emergency and affects all of us.

While the rainforest is typically wet and humid, July and August, the onset of the dry season, are the area’s driest months, with “activity” peaking by early September and stopping by mid-November, according to NASA.

You can learn more about the crisis from official sources and educate friends and family on all the details. The more people know about how serious the crisis is, the more can be done. #PrayforAmazonas #AmazonRainforest
