#PrayForAmazonia has been used on Twitter over forest fires in the area.

The state of Amazonas declared a national emergency earlier this month because of fires in Brazil.

Ivo Aureliano is a lawyer for indigenous people. He grew up in Roraima, in the Amazon region.

He said to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ OS that the people who live in the forests are having their environment taken away from them by the fires and agricultural companies.
