MASS AWARENESS

ENVIRONMENTALISTS in support of Extinction Rebellion environmental group protest to bring awareness about the massive fires burning in the Amazon rain forest and calling for the resignation of Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro outside the Brazilian consulate in Cape Town, yesterday. The activists want to bring awareness to the damage being done and the effect it will have globally. They called for climate justice, accountability of the Brazilian government and for companies implicated to take responsibility. Numerous protests have been staged around the world in other Brazilian embassies to highlight this growing concern.
