UNESCO World Geoparks Network in Latin America and the Caribbean (GEOLAC) publishes a letter of appeal for forest fires that are occurring in the Amazon
The UNESCO World Geoparks Network in Latin America and the Caribbean (Red GeoLAC) of which Araripe Geopark is a member, stated in letter the sadness and consternation of the fires that are devastating the vast areas of the tropical forest region of the planet, which is natural habitat of the richest and most valuable biodiversity on the last day 22/08.
GEOLAC stressed the need to change paradigms of production, exploitation and human consumption evolving to the best sustainability of the planet; redouble efforts made in the search for awareness of geological risks; appeal to everyone's awareness through high-impact and long-term public policies; express the recognition of solidarity and empathy towards the indigenous peoples of the Amazon, who are direct victims of the devastation affecting their lands.
UNESCO World Geoparks are territories committed to ethics, sustainable development, conservation of natural heritage – including geological – and cultural and, fundamentally, with the active participation of Latin American communities.
