Brazil is grappling with its most severe drought in over 70 years, exacerbating wildfires nationwide. Human activities, coupled with extreme heat and prolonged drought, have ignited blazes in vital ecosystems like the Amazon rainforest, Pantanal wetlands, and Cerrado savanna. These fires have devastating consequences: widespread biodiversity loss, economic disruption, air pollution, and diminished rainfall. The smoke from these fires carries particulate matter and toxic gases, creating a public health crisis as respiratory diseases surge. The impact extends beyond Brazil's borders, as the pollution travels for miles, affecting air quality in distant regions and countries.
