For those wondering how they could help save the rainforest, the answer may be simple. Eat less meat.
While the wildfires raging in the Amazon rainforest may constitute an"international crisis," they are hardly an accident.
The vast majority of the fires have been set by loggers and ranchers to clear land for cattle. The practice is on the rise, encouraged by Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's populist pro-business president, who is backed by the country's so-called"beef caucus."While this may be business as usual for Brazil's beef farmers, the rest of the world is looking on in horror.
