More than 500 million bees were found dead in Brazil over a three-month period earlier in 2019. Now, scientists are linking these mass die-offs to an increase pesticides use, fueled by the weakening of chemical regulations by the Bolsonaro administration. e360.yale.edu/digest/pestici…

Brazilian government said the Amazon fires were under control, Windy maps shows the opposite. The fires are just getting bigger and the concentration of CO2, unbearable.
We are witnessing the end of the forest & a genocide.

It is not everyday that comics make the front page of the largest newspaper in Brazil. The reason? Rio de Janeiro's (evangelical bishop turned politician) mayor requested that the largest book fair in the country recall an Avengers comic book because of a gay kiss in it.

Brazil's FM @ernestofaraujo: "You have indigenous communities that live in very poor conditions, sitting on top of very rich lands that would be a great source of revenue if they can be explored in partnership with Brazilian or international companies... in a sustainable way."

The world has watched fire engulf the Amazon with shock. But Brazil's Foreign Minister @ernestofaraujo insists "the Amazon is not burning, not burning at all. We had fires this year a little bit more than last year, but a little bit below average for the last 20 years."
