what's happening in chile: educational english thread bc it seems like that's the only way ppl will care. #incendioquilpue
first of all, it's important to mention that these fires were INTENTIONAL CAUSED for COMERCIAL purpose
basically a construction company wanted the land to make buildings and they couldn't find any other way than to just burn it without thinking of the consequences and how fast it could spread.
due this, lots of families have had to evacuate their homes, most of them losing everything INCLUDING their pets
we are not talking about rich people losing stuff they can just buy the next day, we're talking about working class, people that lost their whole life earnings and savings to a selfish intentional fire!
most people outside CANT travel to help there bc of COVID restrictions!!! so we're donating to help, i'll link international resources as soon as i find them!
it's a tragedy bc it seems like once again the government is too corrupt to care, they rather buy weapons to terrorize their own prople instead of helpful things like watering planes or paying the firefighters!! they keep sending "thoughts and prayers" at most!
again, best you can do is spread awareness and get educated! https://twitter.com/cantf0rgetme/status/1350505530620567555
i just wanted to add that the land burned was a NATIVE FOREST, we keep losing those to the hands of the rich and there's no law that guarantees a proper protection of it!
