This year, more fires in the Amazon have been recorded than ever before. Not only will animals loose their habitats but our rainforests also contain plants that are vital to our planet. If our rainforests die out, there won’t be much oxygen left. 

This year alone, we have lost 10,000 sq km of the world’s largest rainforest. Researchers say that the Amazon produces approximately 20% of Earth’s oxygen. If we keep letting these fires happen, not only will it cause animals to become endangered or extinct, but it will also put us in jeopardy as well. Please help end this madness and spread the word to save our planet and our wildlife.
