The deprived indigenous communities
are unshielded and often unasked-for.
Yet these are the caretakers of cultures
and the custodians of the land and gen.
Are they not the ones who ultimately feel
the pinch of the climate crunch the hardest?
Are they not the least equipped to handle
the new crisis, yet the victims of the polluters?
There is a menacing hazard, a heavy horror
of forest fires that calls for bold decisions.
The thirstier the rainforest, the threat
is higher and higher than ever before.
Wildfires have bred nothing
but dismay and desolation.
Recent months have witnessed wildfires
that have caused havoc across nations.
Yet specialists caution that this is just
the inauguration, a maiden statement.
Didn’t the UN Environment Programme
warn of a 14% universal increase
in extreme fires by 2030 and a thirty
percent increase by the end of 2050?
