September 5th is Amazon Rainforest Day, commemorated across Brazil since 1850 to mark the creation of the Province of Amazonas. Today, everyone knows that the Amazon is one of humanity’s most indispensable natural heritages, covering an area of 6.7 million square kilometers over Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, and French Guyana. There are about 33 million people who inhabit the Amazon basin. Despite its crucial importance, the Amazon is seriously threatened by human activities, including logging, mining, infrastructure construction, and forest conversion into pasture and cropland.
Did you know that indigenous
peoples make up only 5% of the world's population and are
responsible for preserving 82% of the planet's biodiversity?
Did you know that 80% of Brazilians want the Amazon
to be a priority for presidential candidates in 2022?
Today is a day to celebrate but
also to raise awareness. So we want to make you
an invitation: Let's think about more solutions and less
consumption?
Let’s learn more about our ecosystems and what we can do to protect them?
