By Maria Angelica Troncoso
Rio de Janeiro, May 29 (EFE).- Thousands of Brazilians took to the streets on Saturday to repudiate the government of right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro in the country’s first massive protests since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In a nod to the pandemic, now in its third wave in Brazil, most participants wore masks while holding up placards highlighting the damage Covid-19 has done in Latin America’s largest nation.
With more than 465,000 fatalities, Brazil is second to the United States in coronavirus deaths, while its 16.3 million confirmed cases have been exceeded only by India, a country with more than six times as many people.

Rio de Janeiro, Feb 25 (efe-epa).- It is summer in Rio de Janeiro and the heat in the narrow alleys of the city’s favelas is suffocating. Cooling these neighborhoods sustainably is the goal of Techo Verde Favela, a project that was born in the heart of these Brazilian shanty towns.
Also known as aerial gardens, green roofs are considered ‘urban lungs’ that can help improve air quality and biodiversity in cities where cement prevails and vegetation is dying out.
Luis Cassiano, founder of Techo Verde Favela, discovered these benefits six years ago, after suffering from stifling summer heat at his home, one of many in the densely populated Parque Arará neighborhood.
