Firefights combat wildfires in Brazil's Acre state Amazon forest. IMAGES
Wildfires hit Brazil's Mato Grosso do Sul state. The aerial images show wildfires in two biomes of the midwestern state: the tropical savanna (Cerrado) and its wetlands (Pantanal). IMAGES
Firefighters try to put out a blaze as regional authorities in Brazil declare a state of emergency amid "out of control fires" in the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetlands. IMAGES
Firefighters from the ICMBio (Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation), Brazil's federal protected areas agency, use helicopters and make firebreaks to combat a blaze in the Amazon rainforest. Nearly 3,000 forest fires were registered in the Brazilian Amazon in February 2024, the highest for any February since records began in 1999, and made more likely by climate change, according to experts.
