There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

On one hand, I am not surprised that such a corrupt, fascist government would even go to such lengths to do something like this just to further his own agenda. On the other hand, the Amazon is one of Earth's largest "lungs" (along with the ocean, which is also declining in oxygen production), and one would think Bolsonaro would've thought (even for a single millisecond) of the potentially-devastating, widespread effects of burning down the forests, but no.
"Sending the army in" is most likely a codeword for literally eliminating the indigenous population in the forest, and if unsuccessful, controlling them. Literal fascism right there.
