Climate change represents a constantly evolving challenge.
The world is facing an unprecedented climate crisis! Global warming is causing devastating impacts on the environment, people's lives and the economy. Concrete measures must be adopted urgently to mitigate the impacts of rising temperatures.
We all know that the Amazon is already suffering the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation. People who live in and depend on the forest are already facing rising temperatures, severe droughts and changes in rainfall patterns, which have directly impacted the economic and social development of cities and developing nations.
​
Many are concerned about the preservation of forests, and rightly so! There is a vital interdependence between man and the forest: man cannot survive without it, just as the forest cannot survive without man. During photosynthesis, plants absorb CO2 and release O2; in breathing, the opposite occurs. The life cycle is completed with humans breathing in the oxygen produced by plants and breathing out the CO2 that they absorb. This is the essence of our life cycle!
​
Furthermore, it is also important to highlight the importance of water throughout this process. The water is changing and that changes everything. Increasing water scarcity and increasingly unpredictable rainfall are making life much more difficult in many parts of the world.
In this way, the Instituto de Educação Ambiental Floresta Viva launches this CALL to the WORLD due to the impacts of climate change on flora, fauna, water resources and also on the Amazonian population. It is important that everyone recognizes that in the Amazon there are not only plants or animals, but also people, many people!​ And they need minimal support to survive with dignity.
​
In this case, the questions remain: Why not adopt a community? Why not invest in reforestation and/or food security? And those who do not have financial resources, but have intellectual knowledge, why not come to the Amazon to give courses, lectures or training to the populations that live and depend on the forest?
Our intention is to support the various international initiatives and as original members of the forest peoples to make our contribution by calling on our friends of light and journey spread around the world to support this cause locally. It is essential that we restore our forest and also our thoughts. Written words are inspiring, but action is crucial. We need to act quickly, as climate change is not just approaching, it is already directly impacting our lives.
