Climate change: Amazon may be turning from friend to foe

3. The men trying to seize the land, the ranchers, hire men to burn it down,

it also is often cut down, instead, and logging companies illegally profit from the trees, and the land itself gets stolen from Native Brazilians, and used to raise cattle, or occassionally raising crops, like soy beans, etc. Occassionally the ranchers and/or logging industrialists hire assassins to murder indigenous people who won't leave the land where their ancestors have lived for hundreds of years.

I have heard of people in some countries turning out in great numbers to replace burned areas with seeds, or seedlings, when conditions are possible.

If I see anything on it, I'll be sure to post it.

If the government changes in Brazil, and the administration then decides to reverse the destruction, maybe it could be reclaimed, but it would take a huge effort. So many countries around the world now are so concerned, it's likely a progressive Brazilian leader could summon a lot of support and assistance. That would be the best thing that could happen.

Things look completely dire, at the moment, and the world is running out of time.

Gotta hope for a government change, and progressives aren't nearly as eager to overthrow Presidencies and take control as are rightest fascist racist murderous right-wing monsters. It would take a massive effort by the voters, massive and organized.
