Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio first raised the issue last night, writing on Instagram: "Terrifying to think that the Amazon is the largest rain forest on the planet, creating 20% of the earth’s oxygen, basically the lungs of the world, has been on fire and burning for the last 16 days running, with literally NO media coverage whatsoever! Why?"
An abundance of tweets followed, using the trending hashtag #PrayforAmazonia.
So how can you help?
Firstly, continue to educate yourself with what's happening in the Amazon and Brazil, then you can educate others by posting on social media, your Instagram page, Twitter and Facebook - you can share this article or others.
Second, you can donate to these six charities that help with the rainforest and its conservation:
