What you say makes sense, and I understand that it may be anecdotal but I was hoping you had some sources that could enlighten a foreigner like myself to why/how the above explanations make sense? I would appreciate it!
I ask because the Americans/South Americans around me seem only to be able react to the media hype/lack thereof.
For example all my friends from SA are on IG all day saying that the paucity of international coverage on the Amazon fires shows marked unfairness, which may be true- but they haven't investigated at all beyond the realm of "forest good, fire bad".
For my own sake, I desire to know the context of this fire, in the society which it is affecting and not from the United States point of view.
