Further, the singer is known to assist children and low-income families through his regular donations.
"The theme of the project was to return our earth to its original, beautiful state, and I hope this donation is able to help the environment in any way," Changmin said.
Greenpeace donations director Chae Jung Ah stated, "The Amazon rainforest has been plagued by widespread fires for over a month now, and the damages are significant.
He added, "With a donation from TVXQ's Changmin, who is loved dearly both in and outside of Korea, we hope that more people will become aware of the damages that the Amazon rainforest has incurred, and hopefully try to do their best to help."
The environmental organization went on, "The fires are not an issue that just affects the wildlife and people of Brazil. The gases emitted from the fires will have a fatal impact on the atmosphere, and it will cause severe damages to the world as a whole.
