I'm not the most sensitive person and there aren't many things that affect me enough to bring tears to my eyes, but today I cried.
I cried for the Amazon forest and the amount of life, plant & animal, that is being lost in the fires that have been burning for weeks. The lungs of planet earth are burning and yet, very little has been published about that in the press.
A few months ago everyone made a huge fuss about the Notre Dame Cathedral, which regardless of it's historical importance, is still just a building. The biggest forest in the world is disappearing and we almost don't hear about it.
'Record number of fires' in Brazilian rainforest
