DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/brazil-8-29/\n\nThe
  Amazon has raging wildfires at a scale that they can be seen from space! 
 Since the president of Brazil\, Jair Bolsonaro\, took office this year the
 re has been a 39% increase in deforesting the Amazon over 2018. More than 
 1\,300 square miles were cut in the first 7 months of his term. That's the
  size of Rhode Island! And it puts him on pace to deforest an area larger 
 than the whole of Massachusetts. \n\nBolsonaro is opening up Amazonia for 
 increased cattle ranching\, agriculture\, and mining. At the expense of in
 digenous land. "Not one centimeter of land will be demarcated for Indigeno
 us reserves\," Bolsonaro declared during the 2018 presidential campaign.\n
 \nThis policy puts the 1 million indigenous peoples and the ~200\,000 anim
 al species of the Amazon at risk.\n\nCome join us from 8-9am at the Brazil
 ian consulate in downtown Boston to let the Brazilian government know they
  need to respect indigenous rights! The address is 175 Purchase Street\, B
 oston.
