Forest fires continued in the Amazon rainforest, confirming that seven Brazilian states have solicited assistance from the federal government.

Brazilian President Zaire Bousonaru has signed a presidential decree approving military mobilization for firefighting operations in seven northern and northeastern states of the Amazon rainforest.

Areas where troops are mobilized include Horaima, Hondoonia, Tokanchings, Para, Acre, Mato Grosso, and Amazonas.

Military forces will work on firefighting in border areas, indigenous sanctuaries, and environmental sanctuaries.

Defense Minister Fernando Azevedou E. Siuba says more than 44,000 soldiers are involved in forest firefighting.

In response, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has formulated an emergency budget of 38.5 million real (11.5 billion won) for mobilizing military forces and extinguishing forest fires.

The Amazon rainforest, called 'Lungs of the Earth', spans eight countries in South America, and it is known that one-third of Earth's species is present in the Amazon rainforest.

In Brazil and other major cities in Sao Paulo, a three-day demonstration called for the protection of the Amazon rainforest and criticized the environmental policy of the Boussonaru government.

The Brazilian Institute for Environmental and Renewable Natural Resources, which manages the Amazon rainforest, says 72,800 fires have been fired this year, up 83% from the same period last year, but fines for environmental damage have been reduced by 29.4% from last year. .

Environmental experts say the government's efforts to reduce environmental crackdowns and call for experts are a side effect of policies that put development ahead of environmental protection.
