Explanation:
The 2019 Amazon rainforest wildfires season saw an unusual surge in the number of fires occurring in the Amazon rainforest and other parts of the Amazon biome contained within the countries of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru during the 2019 Amazonian tropical dry season.[2] Fires normally occur around the dry season as slash-and-burn methods are used to clear the forest to make way for agriculture, livestock, logging, and mining, leading to deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Such activity is generally illegal within these nations, but enforcement of environmental protection has generally been lax. The increased rates of fire counts in 2019 led to international concern about the fate of the Amazon rainforest, which is the world's largest carbon dioxide sink and plays a significant role in global climate change.
The increased rates were first reported by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, INPE) in June and July 2019 through satellite monitoring systems, but international attention was drawn to the situation by August 2019 when NASA corroborated INPE's findings, and smoke from the fires, visible from satellite imagery, darkened the city of São Paulo despite being thousands of kilometers from the Amazon. As of August 29, 2019, INPE reported more than 80,000 fires across all of Brazil, a 77% year-to-year increase for the same tracking period, with more than 40,000 in the Brazil's Legal Amazon (Amazônia Legal or BLA), which contains 60% of the Amazon. Similar year-to-year increases in fires were subsequently reported in Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru, with 2019 fire counts within each nation of over 19,000, 11,000 and 6,700, respectively, as of August 29, 2019.[3] It is estimated that over 906 thousand hectares (2.24×106 acres; 9,060 km2; 3,500 sq mi) of forest within the Amazon biome has been lost to fires in 2019.[4] In addition to the impact on global climate, the fires created environmental concerns from the excess carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide within the fires' emissions, potential impacts on the biodiversity of the Amazon, and threats to indigenous tribes that live within the forest.
Answer:
Amazon Forest Fire
Amazon rainforests in Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru are considered to be the lungs of the world that convert maximum carbon dioxide into oxygen. These lungs have been severely damaged by recent forest fires in July and August 2019. It has been estimated that 906 thousand hectares of Amazon rain forests have been destroyed in the fires in 2019 so far. The entire world is worried over this humongous loss of life-giving forests.
The major cause behind these forest fires is the lax attitude of the Governments of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Peru towards the rain forests. It has been alleged Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has intentionally allowed these forest fires to promote business and agricultural activities for which the land is needed.
The European countries have offered financial help of US$22 million for emergency aid to the affected Amazonian countries to control the fires. Sao Palo was darkened with the smoke from the forest fires. Brazilian President has put 40000 troops on duty to control these forest fires now after people took to streets to protest against it. It is hoped these forest fires will be contained before they wreak unprecedented havoc on the climate.
