Climate change activists chanting slogans and waving banners demonstrated boisterously outside Brazil's embassy in London on Friday, urging President Jair Bolsonaro to do more to halt the fires in the Amazon rainforest.
Several hundred protesters gathered opposite the central London embassy, unfurling signs reading "stop destruction now", "save our planet" and "I want you to panic".
They chanted "climate justice" and "save the Amazon".
English teacher Luisa Brown, 36, told AFP: "We want to do something to stand in solidarity with people of Brazil.
"Also, we have children and would like for them to grow up in a world which has its lungs."
"We cannot sit in silence while life on Earth is being destroyed."
