Answers
Explanation:
Wildfires are common in the dry season but are also deliberately set by farmers illegally deforesting land for cattle ranching.The unprecedented surge in wildfires has occurred since Bolsonaro, president of Brazil, took office in January vowing to develop the Amazon region for farming and mining, ignoring international concern over increased deforestation.Space agency INPE, however, said a large number of wildfires could not be attributed to the dry season or natural phenomena alone.
"There is nothing abnormal about the climate this year or the rainfall in the Amazon region, which is just a little below average," said INPE researcher Alberto Setzer.
People frequently blame the dry season
for the wildfires in the Amazon, but that is not quite accurate, he said.
Bolivia is also experiencing unusually large wildfires that have reportedly destroyed 5,180 sq km (2,000 sq miles) of the forest.
Bolivian firefighters are still trying to put out wildfires that have already burned more than 650,000 hectares (1.6 million acres) of tropical forest, roughly the size of the US state of Delaware, officials said on Thursday.
