Forest Fires Aftermath in Brazilian Amazon
At the end of the undercurrent fire season in the Amazon Forest, Greenpeace documents the destruction left by forest fires in the region between the Brazilian states of Amazonas, Acre and Rondônia.
Despite its wide-known importance in conserving socio-biodiversity and its essential role in maintaining world climate conditions, the Amazon forest still presents fire spots and vast areas of accumulated ashes. Forest fires pose a threat to people, animals and contribute to increasing greenhouse gas emissions. In 2018, in spite of its decrease in absolute numbers, fire spots increased in the most deforested states.
In original language:
Incêndio Floresta na Amazônia 2018
Ao final da temporada de fogo na Amazônia, o Greenpeace esteve em campo para registrar o estrago deixado pelas queimadas, na região entre os estados do Amazonas, Acre e Rondônia
Mesmo com sua reconhecida importância para conservação da sociobiodiversidade e do clima no mundo todo, a Amazônia ainda possui focos ativos de incêndio e áreas de cinzas. O fogo oferece risco às pessoas e aos animais e contribui para engordar as emissões de gases do efeito estufa. Em 2018, apesar da tendência geral de queda no número de focos de calor na Amazônia Legal, estados críticos em desmatamento registraram mais fogo.
