Answer:
Amazon rainforest have hit a record number this year, with 72,843 fires detected so far by Brazil's space research center National Institute for Space Research (INPE).
The surge marks an 83 percent increase over the same period of 2018 and is the highest since records began in 2013 for an ecosystem that produces 20 percent of Earth's oxygen.
Since Thursday, satellite images spotted 9,507 new forest fires in the country, mostly in the Amazon basin, home to the world's largest tropical forest seen as vital to countering global warming.
About 99 percent of Amazon fires start from human actions, "either on purpose or by accident," Alberto Setzer, a senior scientist at INPE told CNN. Setzer said people often set the forest ablaze to clear land for agriculture.
How big is the fire?
1. Images show the northernmost state of Roraima covered in dark smoke. Amazonas declared an emergency in the south of the state and in its capital Manaus on Aug 9.
2. Acre, on the border with Peru, has been on environmental alert since Friday due to the fires.
3. Wildfires have increased in Mato Grosso and Para, two states where Brazil's agricultural frontier has pushed into the Amazon basin and spurred deforestation.
4. Greenpeace said that the wildfires were so intense that smoke loomed over the city of Sao Paulo, more than a thousand miles away.
