The Amazon rainforest burned for three weeks. What caused the burning of the rainforest?

Amazon rainforest is a tropical rainforest, so it is difficult to have natural fires in theory.

However, the number of fires in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest is nearly 40,000 every year. There is only one reason why there are so many fires in an impossible place, and that is arson, and it is intentional arson.

It is true that the Amazon rainforest is the "lung of the earth" and belongs to the whole world. But the Amazon rainforest is in Brazil, so it belongs to the Brazilian people. Protecting the environment may be the knowledge of the whole world, but for the hungry people in backward areas, survival is far more important than protecting the environment.

Brazil's economic level is very low. Compared with the vast rainforest area, Brazil's cultivated land area is not very rich. Therefore, people can only choose to destroy the rainforest in order to obtain more cultivated land to maintain their lives. The easiest way to destroy the rainforest is to burn it with a torch.

This is an act of getting quick success and instant benefit regardless of the overall situation. But for people in backward areas, their choices are not many. If they can live as well as people in developed countries, I believe they can also protect the environment and the Amazon rainforest.

However, this is not the case. Criticizing this deliberate arson blindly can't directly point to the root of the problem, but there will be a sense of sight that it is easy to stand and talk.

The burning Amazon rainforest

So the answer to the question is clear, because people in backward areas need cultivated land, so they set fire to the Amazon rainforest.

There are 40,000 arson cases every year. We don't know which arson caused this uncontrollable fire, let alone how to solve the problem from the root.
