Celebrities React to Amazon Rainforest Fires - See Their Posts
Celebrities are speaking out about the fires taking place in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest.
The rainforest – which produces 20 percent of the oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere and slows down global warming – is burning “at the highest rate since the country’s space research center … began tracking [the fires] in 2013,” CNN reports.
Ariana Grande posted three photos of the fires in her Instagram Stories, which included the caption, “If ur not from Brazil, and dont have no clue about what’s happening here, here it goes. The largest rainforest on the world is on fire, for the 16th day. And the media is not giving a f–k for this. #PrayForAmazonia.”
Demi Lovato shared two Instagram Story posts – a screenshot of Ariana‘s post and another that read, “The Amazon has been burning for 3 weeks, and I’m just finding out because of the lack of media coverage. This is one of the most important ecosystems on earth! Spread awareness!”
Kendall Jenner posted four photos in her Instagram Stories with the words, “Our lungs are burning.”
Noah Cyrus also reposted Ariana‘s post, while Jaden Smith shared an Instagram photo of the fire, captioning it, “The AMAZON Rain FOREST IS ON FIRE THIS IS TERRIBLE ITβS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CARBON SINKS IN THE WORLD, Spread The Word. #theamazonrainforest.”
