‘Out of control fires’ in Brazil wetlands spark state of emergency

Posted by in category: futurism

Regional authorities in Brazil on Monday declared a state of emergency as the Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetlands, faces “out of control fires,” according to a decree.

The surge of fires before the peak of the dry season has raised alarm for the Pantanal, which extends into Bolivia and Paraguay and is home to a rich array of wildlife, including the world’s highest density of jaguars.

The six-month was declared by the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, home to much of the wetlands in Brazil.
