Fires have surged in the Amazon this year -- the world's largest rainforest is burning at its highest rate since 2013 -- and Brazil's National Institute for Space Research says more than one-and-a-half soccer fields of Amazon rainforest are being destroyed every minute of every day.The Amazon, which produces about 20% of earth's oxygen, is often referred to as"the planet's lungs." It is considered vital in slowing global warming.
Here's what we know about the fires in the Amazon rainforestEarth Alliance announced that its emergency fund will be dispersed between five local organizations that are"combating the fires, protecting indigenous lands, and providing relief to the communities impacted." They are: Instituto Associacao Floresta Protegida , Coordination of the Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian Amazon , Instituto Kabu , Instituto Raoni and Instituto Socioambiental .
Thank you sir God bless you
Bt its late already
Funny it was reported today most of the footage of the amazon fire is old coverage!! NASA has reported the earth is at its greenest in the satellite era and oceans have cooled in the northern hemisphere for the past 3 years not to mention this has been the wettest year in ages
Good for him ...he’s still a phoney
Actor? Hollywood? 5 million? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good u should have given 10 million u can afford it
He will get on a private jet with 5 SUVs to get the money and make a carbon footprint twice the size of the fire 🔥. Celebrities are the biggest hypocrites.
Whilst he whizzes around on his private jet, quaffing champagne, saying I am so much better than the plebs...
Thanks Leo....I guess your not just a Gigalo, Craddle Robber. We Apologize
I thought him and some of his superhero friends could just jump into the fire and save the planet for the rest of us
Thank you Leo!
Tax write off. He is not stupid unlike cnn
The fires are showing mostly to be in agricultural areas and the fires are actually smaller than they were last year. Fact.
Thank you to Mr. DiCaprio.
I always knew Leonardo DiCaprio would save all our lives some day.
I hope my package didn't burn up.
LeoDiCaprio You want to help the environment? Maybe stop flying private jets fucking everywhere!!
Your turn JeffBezos
He da boss man, an environment activist par excellence!
Ammhol Leonardo di Caprio the Putin fanboy? Putin is Trump's lodestar & guide - maybe Leo can make a cool movie about it & pose for some selfies with trees to Show He's A Man Of Principle. Lulz.
A big fan of leonardo all over again!
OMG he's sooo great you guys!!!! Now when will he sell his private plane?
But he’ll keep flying in private jets
Are they being bribed...? Like if u doooont pay uuuup.. Im gonna torch it.. Set it soooooo
Humanity, as a whole, has to be horrified as to the complicit guilt we share in the obscene and heinous abuse, rape and destruction of our Mother Earth's Beautiful Body. There exists no greater shame for us than this! environment AmazonFires
It'll end up in Bolsonaros pocket.
We gotta start planting some trees round the globe if we want to reverse a bit the problem.
Wildfires occur every year this season due to the dry weather. If you think that raising an enviromental fund will stop the fire that started by natural causes, I don't understand where is the logic behind it. It seems to me like a good way to fool people to take their money.

Responsible 👍🏻
Leonardo, You Rock! Thanks For Your Good Heart! 💞
Those fires! When!!
Nothing to him. Note: Celebrities are the WORSE when it comes to the environment and carbon footprint.

Where was he when Siberia was burning? Oh wait...thats in Russia and we dont care about what is happening there!
Thank YOU, Mr. Di Caprio...
Already being more useful than our president
Now that is positive. Well done done Leonardo
The guy promotes 'environmental' causes, yet flies around the world in private jets.🤔
DiCaprio, what a ridiculous guy. Just looking for cameras.
These people are a joke and rightly ridiculed.
牛b
U deserve to be a beautiful flower tree 🌺🌻🌹🌷 in ur other life ❤ LeoDiCaprio
Cool. Only in America do the rich provide for others. Without Capitalism this could not happen. How many rich Venezuelans are giving money to help the world’s unfortunate? Rich Americans donate billions annually. Thank God for our free capitalist society.
5 MN? 😂
Actors doing the jobs governments should be doing.
You mean the Amazon fires that NASA calls an average year for Brazil?
Thank you for seeing the bigger picture.
Passion meets purpose
Boris Johnson pledging £10 million for Uk and one guy puts in $5 million of his own 😂😂
As he flys around on his private jet. ECO-FRUAD!
How much does the fund budget for private jet maintenance each year?
Well done sir LeoDiCaprio ...We the inhabitants of earth are grateful...
Wow! we really needed to know this. Top 'journalistic' news again CNN.😂❤🍿
$5 Million will last no time at all.
Is that like a carbon offset for all his Private jet trips?
How much you bet that T rump is lying about China calling last night.
Well done Leo
小李子，真正的偶像
Will it make any difference?
I respect all who put their money where their mouth is Nice job Leo
