Environmental and indigenous activists gathered outside the Brazilian embassy in Bogota on Friday to condemn the handling of the wildfires currently raging across the Amazon rainforest.
Footage shows protesters marching outside the Brazilian embassy and holding placards reading; "To attack the Amazon is to attack the planet." Other protesters were seen chanting “Bolsonaro, that fire is yours!”
Councilor of Human Rights for the National Indigenous Organisation of Colombia Aida Quilcue addressed those attending the rally, saying: "I believe that the physical and cultural extermination but also the death to which Mother Earth is taking us is not far away. Because the original people were taken from the territory."
So far in 2019 nearly 73,000 fires have been recorded by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, an 84 percent increase as compared to the same period last year.
