#PrayForAmazonia rainforest
#PrayForAmazonia has been used on Twitter over forest fires in the area.
The state of Amazonas declared a national emergency earlier this month because of fires in Brazil.
Ivo Aureliano is a lawyer for indigenous people. He grew up in Roraima, in the Amazon region.
He said to 大象传媒 OS that the people who live in the forests are having their environment taken away from them by the fires and agricultural companies.
