This action was performed in a busy place, where people from the city of Divinopolis usually take a walk or meet friends in their free time. Posters were displayed with sentences that intended to cause reflection about deforestation and forest fire, so common in our country.

​

The burning and cutting the trees alter and devastate the ecosystems: they destroy the fauna and the flora; they make the soil poorer as they kill the microorganisms; and, by calcining the surface, they reduce the penetration of water in the subsoil.

​

From a wider point of view, the forest fires and deforestation are responsible for modifying the chemical composition of the atmosphere and, by extension, they influence in a negative way the climate changes on Earth, contributing for the increase of the greenhouse effect and, therefore, for the global warming.
