It being a fairly normal practise is what should be the greatest issue. It’s not like the Amazon has been well preserved and this is a normal amount of burning. Several thousand km2 still being lost, and a President who is likely to allow that number to increase to the historically incredibly high number is rightfully giving people a wake up call.
It’s also not as if burning fields in Brazil is the only threat to the biome; feedstocks, biolfuel productions, resource, crop etc. I do fear society will focus on one thing while governments pretend to crackdown on the real issues, while the sole of the root causes are never addressed and we end up with save the rainforest stickers on the back of some Hybrid SUV out front of a Lululemon.
