The world's largest tropical rainforest Amazon, Brazil is now in flames. The frequent fires and drier conditions have led to raging of flames at a record rate. As the deep forest is slowly turning into ashes, scientists warn it's going to be a huge blow for environmentalists who fight against climate change. According to the National Institute of Space Research in Brazil, Amazon has witnessed 73,000 fire accidents in last one year. Between 2013-2018, the number of fire accidents jumped by 83%. Several film celebs too spoke about it and tweeted about catastrophe, and we are bringing to some of them:
