What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A northern Brazilian state declared an environmental state of emergency due to hundreds of forest fires in the Amazon basin. This severe drought is linked to the El Nino climate phenomenon. The emergency measure bans the use of fire to clear pastureland and mobilizes additional resources to extinguish fires. The state recorded over 5,000 fires since the start of November.
