Canada will allocate a tanker plane and 15 million of dollars to quell forest fires in the Amazon region, said the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, at the end of the G7 summit in the French city of Biarritz.

The Canadian Prime Minister said at a press conference: "We can do as the situation in the Amazon it's simply part of the natural cycle, but that's not exactly what is happening", he claimed.

"The invoice of human activity and extreme weather conditions on our communities, environment, health and our world, will continue to increase unless we take decisive action in the framework of the fight against climate change"cited Trudeau.

This aid, said Trudeau, is not part of the one agreed at the summit of the Group of Seven, but it is added to that committed by the leaders gathered in Biarritz, which It includes 20 million dollars in emergency aid and for reforestation.

According to data from the Space Research Institute of Brazil (INPE), so far this year, more than 75 thousand fire bulbs fires have been increased in the Amazon 85 percent more compared to the same period of 2018.

On August 22 the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM) urged the governments of the Amazonian countries, first of all Brazil and Bolivia, and to the entire international community to "take serious measures to save the lung of the world".

Although fires are common in the Amazon during the dry season, like the current one, a good part of them have been produced by farmers and have dispersed strongly due to deforestation, until they reach uninhabited areas
