While the media attention might have lessened, the fires in the Amazon are still happening. We have started an Emergency Fund for the Amazon municipality of Apuí, and our team on the ground there has been working hard on trying to put down the fires or at least limit the damage it is causing.
Meanwhile, local children are still receiving classes where they are taught about fire. During training sessions, they learn about its dangers and how to avoid it from starting or spreading by, for example, creating and maintaining fire breaks. Knowledge is key if we want to avoid this from happening again.
