The Amazon is the largest forest in the world, and it is home to millions of animal and plants. Indigenous people also live there for whom it is more and more difficult to survive in the modern world.

(Amazon adalah hutan terbesar di dunia, dan rumah bagi jutaan flora dan fauna. Penduduk asli juga tinggal disana yang semakin lama semakin sulit bertahan di dunia modern.)

The land beneath the Amazon contains special rocks called minerals, such as gold. Gold brings in miners. The gold mining business is illegal, and it causes serious damage. Miners destroy forests, poison rivers, and they bring diseases to indigenous people. Nature needs many years to return to a normal situation, and sometimes, it is not even possible.

(Tanah di bawah Amazon mengandung mineral bebatuan khusus, seperti emas. Emas mendatangkan para penambang. Bisnis Tambang emas tidak sah, dan menyebabkan kerusakan serius. Penambang menghancurkan hutan, meracuni sungai, dan membawa penyakit bagi penduduk asli. Alam membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk kembali normal, dan kadang-kadang, bahkan tidak mungkin.)

The Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro wants to change a law, which will make mining in the Amazon legal. This is very bad news for the indigenous people. Currently, nearly 30% of Brazil´s gold comes from illegal business.

(Presiden Brazil Jair Bolsonaro ingin mengganti undang-undang, yang akan membuat tambang di Amazon sah. Ini berita yang sangat menyedihkan bagi penduduk asli. Saat ini, hampir 30 persen dari emas Brazil berasal dari bisnis gelap.)

Kata-kata sulit: indigenous (asli), miner (penambang), mining (tambang), poison (meracuni).
