BreakingNews·190825 - 亚马逊雨林大火是一场国际危机

Fires are burning in the Amazon rainforest at an alarming rate. French President Emmanuel Macron has said the record number of fires is now an "international crisis". There has been an 85 per cent increase in fires in the Amazon this year. Mr Macron said urgent action needed to be taken. He said the fires needed to be on top of the agenda at the G7 summit of world leaders in Biarritz. Macron tweeted about how serious he thought the fires were. He wrote: "Our house is burning. Literally. The Amazon rain forest - the lungs which produce 20% of our planet's oxygen - is on fire. It is an international crisis. Members of the G7 Summit, let's discuss this emergency in two days."

亚马逊雨林大火正以惊人的速度蔓延。法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙表示，创纪录的火灾数量现在是一场“国际危机”。今年亚马逊地区的火灾增加了85%。马克龙表示，需要采取紧急行动。他说，在比亚里茨举行的七国集团首脑会议上，火灾问题必须成为首要议题。马克龙在推特上说，他认为火灾有多严重。他写道:“我们的房子着火了。字面上。亚马逊雨林——产生地球20%氧气的肺部——正在燃烧。这是一场国际危机。七国集团峰会的成员们，让我们在两天内讨论这个紧急情况。”

Other leaders agreed that they should discuss the fires. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called the fires an "acute emergency". She said they were "shocking". She added that the fires didn't only threaten Brazil and its neighboring countries, but also affected the whole world. The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson called the fires "not only heartbreaking," but "an international crisis". He added: "We stand ready to provide whatever help we can to bring them under control and help protect one of Earth's greatest wonders." UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said: "In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon must be protected."

其他领导人同意他们应该讨论火灾。德国总理安格拉·默克尔称火灾为“紧急情况”。她说，这些照片“令人震惊”。她补充说，大火不仅威胁到巴西及其邻国，还影响到整个世界。英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊称火灾“不仅令人心碎”，而且是“一场国际危机”。他补充说:“我们随时准备提供我们所能提供的一切帮助来控制他们，帮助保护地球上最伟大的奇迹之一。”联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯说:“在全球气候危机中，我们无法承受对氧气和生物多样性这一主要来源造成更大的破坏。亚马逊必须得到保护。”
