The lung of our planet is burning for weeks. There has never been a bigger catastrophe on this planet which affects not only the region but the whole world. I think we cannot even imagine what it means when thousands of fires are burning and thousands of new fires are developing each day. How can this be gotten under control? Does it really mean that the fires only cease when there is nothing more to be burned unless it rains heavily for days or even weeks? I don’t know but it scares me out of my skin. The consequences are disastrous for the whole planet. Not enough that we have been cutting the forest down in no time, now the fires do the rest. Possibly the constant and excessive decimation of the rainforest supported the dry weather which again supported the fires. And if the fires were really “man-made” how short-sighted are we?

What I don’t understand is how late and how rarely we hear something about it in the news. Is it really too far away? It concerns all of us. Hope, still believing that we can make it, and taking action is more needed than ever. I praise everyone who dedicates themselves to saving our planet in general but in particular right now those who are working on extinguishing the fires in Brazil.

Again, nature will find its way to survive and recover in decades and centuries…
but will we?
