How is the burning of the Amazon impacting the biodiversity and the people of that region

Three Critical Consequences Of The Amazon Fires: Biodiversity Loss, Climate Change and Health. The Amazonian fires that captured the world's attention in late August 2019 are a calamity of monumental proportions for our shared climate, biodiversity loss and health. The World Meteorological Organization tweeted about the smoke that has spread across Brazil stating, "Fires release pollutants, including particulate matter & toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and non-methane organic compounds into the atmosphere." The added carbon dioxide will also trap heat within our atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect and could change the atmospheric circulation that causes the melting of large ice sheets and many other catastrophic effects of climate change. It gets worse.
