But since then, the forest hasn\u2019t stopped burning \u2014and 2020 could be even more devastating for the rainforest and the Indigenous Peoples who call it home. Last week, Greenpeace Brazil flew over the state of Mato Grosso to capture images of the Amazon. Even though the government had ordered a ban on forest fires in the state starting at the beginning of July, the photos show smoke, flames, and just how ineffective the ban has been.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image  caption-style-blue-overlay caption-alignment-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-international-stateless\/2020\/07\/e499b564-gp1su5ab_medium_res-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Greenpeace Brazil captured images of fires raging in the Amazon in the state of Mato Grosso.\" class=\"wp-image-44166\" title=\"Greenpeace Brazil captured images of fires raging in the Amazon in the state of Mato Grosso.\"\/><figcaption>Between 7-10 July, Greenpeace Brazil flew over the state of Mato Grosso to capture images of fires burning in the Amazon \u00a9 Christian Braga \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>Last year, more than 1 million hectares of forest were burned, and the trend shows the destruction is far from over. Last June, more than two thousand fire hotspots were registered in the Amazon, the highest number in the last thirteen years. Since Brazil\u2019s President Bolsonaro took office in January 2019, his government\u2019s agenda has been very clear: dismantle environmental protection law and agencies, so that forest destroyers can burn the forest freely, clearing the land to turn it into pastures, without being held accountable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The consequences of this destruction are dire. From&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/international\/press-release\/44107\/siberia-climate-hotspot-wildfires-russian-cities-smoke\/\">Siberia<\/a>&nbsp;to the Amazon, fires are raging across the world. Losing our forests means&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/environment\/story\/2019-08-25\/amazon-rainforest-fires-climate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">losing the fight against the climate crisis<\/a>, putting biodiversity at risk of extinction, and threatening the lives of Indigenous Peoples who depend on the forest standing for their survival. Fighting to protect the forest and Indigenous lands from fires and deforestation become even more difficult\u2014and crucial \u2014during a pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image  caption-style-blue-overlay caption-alignment-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-international-stateless\/2019\/08\/5691bc29-gp0sttsct-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"In 2019, the images of the fires raging in the Amazon went viral and shocked the world \u00a9 Victor Moriyama \/ Greenpeace\" class=\"wp-image-23959\" title=\"In 2019, the images of the fires raging in the Amazon went viral and shocked the world \u00a9 Victor Moriyama \/ Greenpeace\"\/><figcaption>In 2019, the images of the fires raging in the Amazon went viral and shocked the world. \u00a9 Victor Moriyama \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>With a mortality rate from COVID-19 150% higher than the Brazilian average, Indigenous Peoples are already more vulnerable during the pandemic.

After the public\u2019s outcry last year, there is increasing pressure on Brazil\u2019s government. Investors, companies and governments have been signaling their concerns about the destruction of the forest and its impact on the environment, and their message is clear:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-brazil-environment-investors\/global-investors-demand-to-meet-brazil-diplomats-over-deforestation-idUSKBN23U0L8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">they don\u2019t want to do business<\/a>&nbsp;with forest destroyers. Even though last week Bolsonaro announced a \u201cfire moratorium\u201d for 120 days, the images of Mato Grosso show how his measures have been performative and inefficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image  caption-style-blue-overlay caption-alignment-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-international-stateless\/2020\/07\/5add84be-gp1su5ai-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"With 4,437 hotspots, the state of Mato Grosso has had the highest number of fires in the Brazilian Amazon this year \u00a9 Christian Braga \/ Greenpeace\" class=\"wp-image-44057\" title=\"With 4,437 hotspots, the state of Mato Grosso has had the highest number of fires in the Brazilian Amazon this year \u00a9 Christian Braga \/ Greenpeace\"\/><figcaption>With 4,437 hotspots, the state of Mato Grosso has had the highest number of fires in the Brazilian Amazon this year. \u00a9 Christian Braga \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>To properly protect the forest and its Peoples, the Brazilian government must properly fund environmental agencies, reinforce environmental laws and protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
