Summary
The number of fires in the Amazon biome has significantly increased in 2019, with over 41,858 fires recorded as of August 24, up from 22,000 the previous year. The fires have raised concerns among scientists and environmentalists, particularly those occurring within protected areas such as Jamanxim National Forest and Serra de Ricardo Franco Park. While the Bolsonaro government attributes the fires to hot weather, others link them to illegal land clearing for profit. Deforestation rates have also risen under Bolsonaro's administration, partly due to the dismantling of IBAMA, Brazil's environmental enforcement agency. Despite the crisis, Bolsonaro has not shifted his policies and has pledged to deploy the army to combat the fires. The G7 nations have pledged $20 million in emergency aid to help Amazon countries fight wildfires and to launch a long-term global initiative to protect the rainforest.
