How To Help The Wildfires in the Amazon
Hearing the news about the insane amount of wildfires in the Amazon rainforest has been heart breaking.
This is not a national problem, this is a global crisis.
As a person who feels deeply for the earth and the future of humanity, I wanted to figure out how I could help this devastation.
I have researched a list of charities that are actively helping with the ongoing disaster.
Reasons This Affects All of Us

The wildfires will disrupt our production of oxygen
Earth’s delicate elemental balance will be threatened
The amazon is home to 30+ million people and millions of plant and animal species, most still un-described
Loss of indigenous land
80% increase in deforestation has occurred so far this year compared to last year
Amazon rainforest is referred to as "the planet's lungs."
