# Climate Change Impact in Amazon

Protecting the Amazon is not only essential for South America – but for the entire world. Wildfires are higher than ever at 28% higher year-over-year, and are adding to the destruction of the "lungs of the Earth". Lifelong environmental activists **Atossa Soltani**, Founder and Board President of [Amazon Watch](https://amazonwatch.org/),  **John Quigley**, Co-Founder of [Artists For Amazonia](https://artistsforamazonia.org/),** Suzanne Pelletier**, Executive Director of [Rainforest Foundation US](https://rainforestfoundation.org/), and **Wendie Malick**, Actress and[ EMA](https://www.green4ema.org/) Board Member join The Nest Summit powered by FINTECH.TV for Climate Week NYC to explain the climate crisis in the Amazon.  Further, these advocates discuss the incredible opportunities mother earth provides with capturing CO2, breathing out and how this process works through billions of trees in the Amazon with an average tree generating unbelievable amounts of water per tree per day.
