I'm not excusing Brasil (I don't come from there), my main point was that it's just not Brasil's "fault" for not taking care of the forest, a lot of countries have a ton of responsibility: China and the west for example.
If anything, these type of articles come at a suspicious time so close to the signing of the Mercosur trade deal, because yes the forest is burning but according to Nasa not more and not less than in other years.
Which is bad and should be stopped, but why are we talking about it so much now? It reeks of political manipulation.
I don't like that at all but well if it forces some sort of immediate action and concession from Brasil it's better than nothing, but it does not tackle the underlying issues.
If people want to do something about it, the most important thing is to stop eating the main end product of the Amazonia burning which is meat.
Not necessarily only from Brasil, because they export the crops for cattle feed globally. I'm talking about meat in general.
