The Amazon jungle, which the world considers the lungs of the earth, is currently on fire

The Amazon, the world's largest rainforest and produces about 20% of the planet's oxygen and is considered the lungs of the earth, is now highly prone to fires in few days.

Fire is now burning across the vast Brazilian Amazon jungle amid international agiant to President Jair Bolsonaro's inaction.

Brazil has experienced a number of fires this year, with more than half of them in the Amazon region. According to data collected by the country's National Institute for Space Research (INPE).

INPE says it has discovered more than 72,000 fire cases in Brazil between January and August this year, of which about 40,000 have been reported in the Amazon rainforest, a rate that has been on the rise. A 83% increase over the same period last year.

The cause of the fire was presumed to be caused by the burning of land for farmers' cultivation, or by civil society groups protecting the environment in order to internationally criticize the Brazilian President's government JairBolsonaro, meanwhile, has been accused by various groups of being inactive in managing the forest.

At the same time, many scientists have expressed great concern over the burning and deforestation of the Amazon, as it could hamper efforts to combat global warming.(This news came from Business-Cambodia.com)
