Not just the lives of the defenders of the forest, but mine and yours, despite our privileges. I feel powerless when I find myself unable to make people understand that it is their own lives that are at risk. ![]() This week, there were days when I personally felt such a heavy weight on my chest when I saw the blood-colored sun produced by the arsonist fires of Bolsonaro’s supporters in the Amazon that I found it hard to walk.
