    Thanks to guardian for their high commitment to keep the world informed about sensitive matters. Who will save Amazon from a possible extinction in 100 years. These greedy entities only care about the profits they are reaping.

      These companies should be penalised and should be made invest in replanting and restoration the damage they have done.
