The 'lungs of our planet' are burning! The #AmazonRainforest is home to about 3 Mn species of plants & animals and 1 Mn indigenous people. It plays an important role in keeping the planet's carbon dioxide levels in check. We won't exist without it! #SaveTheAmazon #PrayforAmazonas https://t.co/9rKfTYXolL

Indeed, this is a wake-up call for the humankind who is taking nature for granted. Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro blamed NGOs as Twitterati started posting angry tweets under hashtags like #SaveAmazon #PrayForAmazonia and more. Time to be more serious about what's happening with mother earth!
