As a result, the rainforest has lost over 20% of its surface area in 50 years in Brazil only. Which is dangerous to all of us because this 6,5 million square meters rainforest accounts for 30% of the world's fauna and flora and contains 20% of the world's freshwater, and is therefore essential to our planet's sustainability... Luckily nowadays, technologies are thoroughly changing the way the Amazonian rainforest is monitored. Satellites, drones, radars...

Every year, 36 billion of tons of greenhouse gas, full of carbon, are thrown in the atmosphere. They come from our cars and factories, and from the production of energy in general. These gas warm up our planet at an alarming pace. <\/span>One of the strategies used to face this is the \"decarbonisation\", or the art of catching carbon dioxide before it leaks into the universe. <\/span>Innovative solutions are taking place: in Canada, for the first time, in a coal-fired power station, smokes' carbon is caught before being thrown in the atmosphere.
