We, humans, are called the most intelligent species on Earth, by ourselves of course. But there couldn't have been a more careless, stupid and selfish species like ours, save for a few individuals who genuinely care.

The Amazon is burning, and thousands of animals have died. The causes are most probably human-made. This is the season when farmers set fire to their land for clearing out old crops and stalks to fertilize the land with ash. This might be good for their crop but is definitely horrible for the forest. The crop fire reaches out through the crop, eventually reaching the margins, where the plants of the forest catch it. The fire then makes its way through the entire jungle like a monster, devouring all life in its way. The effects are so devastating that they can be seen through space, and I am worried.

The amazon rain forest is habitat
to nearly ten percent of the world's species, and a new species is discovered there every other day. Deforestation, forest fires, and poaching have become a major issue, eating away at the ecosystem. We don't really deserve this planet. Isn't it time to open up our eyes to what is happening around us? When will humanity actually realize it's folly? After everything is gone?
