The Amazon is the most biodiverse environment in the world and its preservation is critical for controlling climate change. But its destruction hasn’t stopped—and has gotten worse under Brazil’s current president. Some call that ecocide.

"The most critical of all forest types is primary forest, known as old-growth or virgin forest. Examples include the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia and those of the Amazon and the Congo." via

The most divers biome (instead of just the vague word environment) is the biogeographical Chocó, also endangered. I know that what you do is crucial to stop deforestation. News and communication are important. However/therefore it is important that the information be precise.

Europe cut down much of its forest a long time ago. America has cut down 1/3 or its original forest and now the remaining 90% is used as timber. It is hypocritical to expect that developing nations will not have the same instinct as they compete in this runaway economy.
