Amazon - what about me?

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. As majestic as it is, the Amazon Rainforest is not eternal. This territory, which represents just over 60% of our country's land and which is the largest tropical forest and largest river basin in the world, has been constantly threatened by illegality and quick profit, risking not only the diversity of animal and plant species, but also putting at risk the lives of human beings who inhabit that region, and our entire future. Amidst the enormous wealth of species that are part of the forest, there may be cures for various ailments; Moisture circulates in its atmosphere, producing rain that will make the Brazilian Southeast and Center-West more conducive to life and food production; Among the people who live there, there is a lot of knowledge and knowledge, which can point out paths to a human existence that is more harmonious with the environment. Nurit Besunsan leaves readers in no doubt when she predicts: “without the Amazon, we will move much faster towards the transformation of this planet, still inviting for our species, into a profoundly hostile world. Without the forest, we will hasten the end of the world.” There is still time and it is urgent to think about ways out.
