The world's largest rainforest is receiving some high-profile help.
According to the foundation’s website, it will donate funds to five local organizations working to combat the fires: Instituto Associacao Floresta Protegida, Coordination of the Indigenous Organizations of the Brazilian Amazon, Instituto Kabu, Instituto Raoni and Instituto Socioambiental.
This year, the rainforest has experienced an unprecedented surge in devastating wildfires sweeping the region at the highest rate since records began in 2013. Brazil has reported 72,843 fires in the country, an 84 percent increase on the same period last year. In July, deforestation spiked to a level not seen in more than a decade.
