Pope Francis today called for the international community’s commitment to extinguishing the fires in the Amazon, saying the area is essential for the health of the planet.
“We are all worried about the vast fires that have developed in the Amazon. Let us pray so that with the commitment of all, they can be put out soon. That lung of forests is vital for our planet”, said the Pope to thousands of believers at St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican, during his weekly address.
