The Amazon rainforest is like the Earth's lungs, taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. If we damage the rainforest, it's like harming our lungs - the Earth will have a hard time breathing. This is why the Amazon needs protection from businesses and politicians who only see short-term gain.

France has been especially critical of Brazil's policies on protecting the rainforest, and science clearly shows what we need to do to fight climate change.

 

Unfortunately, international pressure hasn't been enough, and greedy land developers and right-wing politicians continue to harm the Amazon.
