BRASILIA/RIO DE JANEIRO - Thousands of Brazilians demanded action on climate change on Friday, taking aim in nationwide protests at President Jair Bolsonaro who they say is allowing fires to destroy the Amazon rainforest, worsening the environmental crisis.
Environmentalists blame right-wing Bolsonaro’s policies favoring development over environmental protections for that and rising deforestation. Salles told Reuters on Thursday that the majority of the Amazon remains intact, showing that Brazil is doing an “excellent job” to preserve the environment. On Friday, Bolsonaro authorized the military to continue firefighting efforts in the Amazon for another month.
“I am going to New York to show the world that Bolsonaro’s policies do not represent Brazil, there are other views,” congresswoman Tabata Amaral, 25, a member of a new generation of Brazilian politicians, said by telephone.
