Avaaz delivered a petition with almost two million signatures from people from around the world to President Rousseff at the Presidential Palace. The petition, growing by 50,000 signers a day in the last two weeks, urges Rousseff to veto the Forest Code that would destroy vast tracts of the Amazon. By Evaristo SA/AFP/GettyImages.
