Another year is coming to an end. Protests were held throughout the year in many countries. The reasons for the protests in each country are different but the cause of anger and frustration in most people is almost the same.
The year 2019 was filled with natural disasters, including hurricanes, floods, fires and earthquakes. But the most stirring events were the wildfires. A lot of natural resources were burned down in the fires of Amazon, California and Australia wildfires. The environment and biodiversity have been affected, fatalities have occurred.
Like other years, accidents and terrorist attacks have taken away many lives.
