The Amazon on Fire

The fires that have been burning the prinal Amazon forest

since three decades have come back to burn the planted

soja and palm oil fields that are on the border of the indigenous

peoples' territories. This devastation which has already

destroyed hectares of primal forest and fauna will leave

millions of hectares of scorched land. The government

announced the burned land can not be used as land

which emphasizes the issue of land management

which is added to the problem of preservation.

The problems should be solved by considering several

factors: sustainable land use, preservation of the primal

forest by planting identical native essences, and

the displacement of the massive production of cereals

and/or palm oil plantations elsewhere since Bresil

is a major exporter of these agricultural products

after the US. The burnt land must be left fallow for

at least a year or more before for the native sylvan

and plant varieties in order to regain the primal forest.
