English to Portuguese: Amazon fires are a shameful indictment of our lust for excess / Incêndios na Amazônia são sinal vergonhoso da nossa sanha por excessos General field: Other Detailed field: Environment & Ecology
Source text - English The scale of the devastation caused by the wildfires still raging in the Amazon is hard to comprehend. This is a rainforest that provides one-fifth of the world’s oxygen; it is hard not to feel powerless and despairing in the face of the disaster overtaking the region.
But however strong – and bitter – the feeling about this as an environmental catastrophe, we must never lose sight of the fact that it is also a human tragedy.
We need to listen with intensified attention to the voices of those who call the rainforest home, voices all too often sidelined or deliberately silenced, their stories a mere footnote in global news headlines. We have no excuse for not listening now.

Translation - Portuguese É difícil compreender a escala da devastação provocada pelos incêndios que ainda assolam a Amazônia. Essa é uma floresta tropical que fornece um quinto do oxigênio do planeta. É difícil não sentir impotência e desespero diante do desastre que está acometendo a região.
Mas, por mais forte – e amargo – que seja o sentimento diante dessa catástrofe ambiental, não devemos jamais perder de vista o fato de que se trata, também, de uma tragédia humana.
Precisamos ouvir com atenção redobrada as vozes daquelas pessoas que chamam a floresta de lar – vozes, muitas vezes, deixadas de lado ou deliberadamente silenciadas, com histórias que figuram apenas na nota de rodapé das notícias nos meios internacionais. Não há desculpa para não escutá-las agora.
