The social media star spoke out on the matter in a Tweet on August 20, asking his fanbase for tips on how to use his fame to combat the disastrous fires. \u201cHow can I help?\u201d Paul asked. \u201cNeed advice on how I can actually make a change here; these pictures are breaking my heart\u2026 this is one of the most important ecosystems on Earth.

Paul raised money for Swedish mental health organization \u201cthe Kevin and Margaret Hines Foundation\u201d in December 2018 in response to PewDiePie\u2019s now-defunct war with T-Series, matching every subscriber gained with one Swedish Krona \u2013 ultimately raising over $60,000 for the org. That\u2019s not all \u2013 Paul went on to host his \u201cChallenger Games\u201d in July, with a whopping $100,000 on the line for winners to donate to a charity of their choosing. With internet celebs like Fouseytube, FaZe Censor, Kingbach, and more in attendance, Paul\u2019s star-studded track and field event was on par with the Ace Family\u2019s annual charity basketball game \u2013 a game that ultimately tore Paul\u2019s hamstring just before the Games went live. Paul\u2019s charity work aside, the Amazon Rainforest \u2013 responsible for 20% of the Earth\u2019s oxygen \u2013 has experienced a record number of fires as of late, with more than 9,500 blazes recorded since Thursday, August 15. The internet has expressed collective outrage at the lack of media coverage regarding the disaster, with Logan Paul being the latest internet star to speak out on the subject in wake of concern over one of the Earth\u2019s most valuable sources of oxygen \u2013 and home to over 2,600 endangered animal species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
