Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – The outcome of the Brazilian election presents an opportunity to change the course of history, not just for Brazil & the Amazon, but for the world.
Brazil is one of eight countries (plus the overseas territory of French Guiana) that houses the Amazon Rainforest, a vast region called Amazonia. Amazonia is one of the world’s five designated High Biodiversity Wilderness Areas and home to millions of wildlife species, many of which haven’t yet been discovered or described.
It is also critical to the estimated 20 million Indigenous peoples from more than 350 Indigenous groups that depend on natural ecosystems and resources for their livelihoods and cultures. Amazonia stores up to 140 billion tons of carbon and plays a critical role in water cycles, weather patterns and climate regulation.
