Uncontacted Tribes Facing Extinction in Massive Amazonian Forest Fires

in #life8 years ago

In 2015, fires started by illegal loggers raged on for over two months, torching over 50% of forest cover in the territory inhabited by the Awá, and the Brazilian Environmental Ministry has stated that for 2016, new fires are ‘even worse this year.’ The area lying under immediate threat include the territories of the Araribóia in central Brazil.

Meanwhile back at the Olympic Games, the egos compete for gold.
