Hello Arjun,
I hope you are fine there, this news and those picture portrait on the social medias has really broken my heart. Amazon forest also called as the Lungs of the Earth in the great threat, almost more than 20% carbondioxide is being absorbed by the amazon forest. Now it has became much more difficult for this generation and to hand over the sustainable environment to upcoming generation. Now everybody from every corner has to fulfill your responsibility for this mother Earth.
keep writing such a thought provoking report.
Regard,
Sandhya
