As a global environmentalist, NFL Legend Tom Brady‘s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, isn’t going to sit back and watch the world burning right before our eyes. These Amazon wildfires have seen a 10% rise from last year, causing alarm across various environmental bodies and agencies. The 43-year-old supermodel and mother of three took to her Instagram to post a devastating story. 

This isn’t the first time the famous supermodel has called out opportunists for their irrational take on the environment. But even with measures to curb the ongoing Amazon wildfire crisis, the forests somehow continue to burn, posing a serious threat to the world’s ecosystem. See what Gisele Bündchen has to say about the calamity. 

Gisele Bündchen unleashes her emotions amidst the Amazon wildfire

In her latest Instagram story, Bündchen posted a video of a forest burning with the caption, “How sad! Years go by and it continues the rampant destruction.” Back in 2019, the super-model posted a photo of the Amazon forest burning while writing a long heartfelt caption about forests. “The forest plays a key role in balancing the Earth’s climate and consequently in our lives… We cannot close our eyes to what is happening in the Amazon.”

As a prolific advocate of environmental protection, the Brazilian model is heartbroken as she laments how the wildfires destroy in a day what nature takes to build for centuries. In 2019, she called out “opportunists” who target the “dry seasons to destroy and clear the forest“, adding about the importance of rainforests, “It’s doing so much work for us to keep us alive. I want to do something now before it’s too late.” If only the world saw through the supermodel’s perspective, preventive measures could have been more deployed.

The world witnessed the highest number of Amazon fires in June 2023 since 2007. According to a 2023 report by the University of South Alabama and the University of East Anglia, the number of wildfires in the first half of the year was a 10% spike from 2022. While they were together, Brady had always passionately supported Bündchen’s efforts to save the environment.

Gisele Bündchen is so vocal in her fight for environmental justice that she even confronted the Brazilian agriculture minister Tereza Cristina Diaz who judged her efforts in environmental activism. Diaz commented that Gisele Bündchen should “not go around criticizing Brazil without knowing the facts.” 

Amidst the squabble, the former NFL GOAT came to his wife’s defense by posting his wife’s rainforest Instagram story. Tom Brady captioned, “Never stop the work you’re doing.” The supermodel hasn’t just been modeling; she’s been involved in various projects on “socio-environmental causes” since 2006, which she delivers with “a lot of responsibility.” She advocates for a balance between environmental conservation and agricultural production. 

As someone who takes the environment very seriously, Gisele Bündchen truly is justified in feeling overwhelmed seeing the beloved forest burning. The only way we’re going to make a difference is when we unite together as one to make the world a better place to live in.
