A través de una transmisión en línea emitida el pasado jueves 28 de noviembre, Bolsonaro dijo que las organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONGs) han contribuido a los incendios forestales registrados este año en el Amazonas. 

“La gente de las ONGs, ¿qué hicieron? ¿Qué es más fácil? Prenderle fuego al arbusto”, dijo el presidente sin ninguna evidencia para sustentar sus acusaciones. “Toman fotos, video, los mandan a un ONG, la ONG la esparce”. 

El presidente brasileño después dijo que las ONGs intentan hacer una campaña en contra de Brasil. “Contactan a Leonardo DiCaprio y Leonardo DiCaprio dona $500,000 a esta ONG. Una parte fue a las personas que iniciaron el incendio, ¿no?”.

“Leonardo DiCaprio, tú estás asistiendo con la quemazón del Amazonas, eso no puede ser”, dijo el mandatario quien al día siguiente volvió a emitir las acusaciones ante sus seguidores en las afueras del Palacio Presidencial. “Leonardo DiCaprio es un gran hombre, ¿no lo es? Donando dinero para incendiar el Amazonas”

Por su parte, DiCaprio respondió el sábado a las acusaciones emitidas por Bolsonaro, a través de una publicación en Instagram. “Yo apoyo al pueblo de Brasil, trabajando para salvar su herencia natural y cultural”, escribió el actor.

“El futuro de estos ecosistemas irremplazables está en riesgo y estoy orgulloso de apoyar a los grupos protegiéndolos”, continuó el ambientalista. DiCaprio también indicó que a pesar de que las organizaciones a las que se refería Bolsonaro son dignas de ser apoyadas, él no les donó fondos.

There are few times in human history where voices are amplified at such pivotal moments and in such transformational ways – but @GretaThunberg has become a leader of our time. History will judge us for what we do today to help guarantee that future generations can enjoy the same livable planet that we have so clearly taken for granted. I hope that Greta’s message is a wake-up call to world leaders everywhere that the time for inaction is over. It is because of Greta, and young activists everywhere that I am optimistic about what the future holds. It was an honor to spend time with Greta. She and I have made a commitment to support one another, in hopes of securing a brighter future for our planet. #FridaysforFuture #ClimateStrike @fridaysforfuture

At this time of crisis for the Amazon, I support the people of Brazil working to save their natural and cultural heritage. They are an amazing, moving and humbling example of the commitment and passion needed to save the environment. The future of these irreplaceable ecosystems is at stake and I am proud to stand with the groups protecting them. While worthy of support, we did not fund the organizations targeted. I remain committed to supporting the Brazilian indigenous communities, local governments, scientists, educators and general public who are working tirelessly to secure the Amazon for the future of all Brazilians.

#Regram #RG @rainforestalliance: The lungs of the Earth are in flames. 🔥 The Brazilian Amazon—home to 1 million Indigenous people and 3 million species—has been burning for more than two weeks straight. There have been 74,000 fires in the Brazilian Amazon since the beginning of this year—a staggering 84% increase over the same period last year (National Institute for Space Research, Brazil). Scientists and conservationists attribute the accelerating deforestation to President Jair Bolsonaro, who issued an open invitation to loggers and farmers to clear the land after taking office in January.⁣ ⁣ The largest rainforest in the world is a critical piece of the global climate solution. Without the Amazon, we cannot keep the Earth’s warming in check. ⁣ ⁣ The Amazon needs more than our prayers. So what can YOU do?⁣ ⁣ ✔ As an emergency response, donate to frontline Amazon groups working to defend the forest. ⁣ ✔ Consider becoming a regular supporter of the Rainforest Alliance’s community forestry initiatives across the world’s most vulnerable tropical forests, including the Amazon; this approach is by far the most effective defense against deforestation and natural forest fires, but it requires deep, long-term collaboration between the communities and the public and private sectors. ✔ Stay on top of this story and keep sharing posts, tagging news agencies and influencers. ⁣ ✔ Be a conscious consumer, taking care to support companies committed to responsible supply chains.⁣ Eliminate or reduce consumption of beef; cattle ranching is one of the primary drivers of Amazon deforestation. ✔ When election time comes, VOTE for leaders who understand the urgency of our climate crisis and are willing to take bold action—including strong governance and forward-thinking policy.⁣ ⁣ #RainforestAlliance #SaveTheAmazon #PrayForAmazonia #AmazonRainforest #ActOnClimate #ForestsResist #ClimateCrisis 📸: @mohsinkazmitakespictures / Windy.com
