Is it truly “theirs” when the entire world depends on it? They are squandering it by giving it away to global corporations like JBS (massive meat corporation that extends beyond Brazil and has bought up a shit ton of large meat processing plants/farms across the globe including the US).

Also, the native people that live in the Amazon are at threat too, but nobody is listening to them. They do not have the resources to standup to the Brazilian government that continues to ignore them and continues to give away their land to corporate interests.

If the rest of the world depends on it, then that sounds like a great reason for the rest of the world to pay a large sum of money to Brazil, in exchange for it's services.

That would certainly be cheaper than a war, which would probably just cause a large amount of damage to the forest anyway.

How about the global community paying Brazil to keep it untouched.

Yes it is theirs even if the world depends on it.

Summarized: Yes

The rest of the world burned its own forests. Let Brazil burn its in peace.

Or pay to keep it. I don't care, but this neo-colonialism infuriates L. Americans who witness a steady stream of Western countries come in and destroy their environment
