It’s been more than 17 days since world’s largest dense forest Amazon rainforests are burning and the wildfires have been escalating at an alarming rate. There have been 72,843 fires in Brazil this year, with more than half in the Amazon region, INPE said. That's more than an 80% increase compared with the same period last year. The Amazon is often referred to as the planet's lungs, producing 20% of the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere, reports BBC.

A few days back #PrayforAmazonia had trended on Twitter with netizens criticising Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for his failure to stop a series of forest fires that have been tearing through the Amazon forest for the last three weeks. Environmentalists have also put the blame on the President accusing him of relaxing environmental controls in the country and encouraging deforestation. 

Many actors from all over the world took to their official social media handle to express their concerns over the issue. While Anushka Sharma and Arjun Kapoor wrote a heartfelt message on their Instagram story others took to their twitter account to share the news. 

Check out how celebrities have strongly reacted towards the crises through a series of tweets and Instagram posts below:
