From the U.S. to Brazil, Siberia to Turkey, Italy to Greece, we're witnessing fires raging across the globe, consuming forests, lives, wildlife, and our future. Fires have also razed natural savanna grasslands, burning within and around Indigenous territories such as Xingu and Kayapó.

The combination of extreme heat and prolonged drought have led to the worst fires in almost a decade and come as the IPCC handed down a landmark report on the escalating climate crisis.

It's all connected. The burning season of Amazon forest has also begun. A historic drought, rampant deforestation, and lax environmental regulations mean this year is likely to be a devastating year for fires.

However, unlike in the U.S. and around the world, fires don't occur naturally in the Amazon rainforest. They are set deliberately to clear deforested areas to make way for agriculture or renew existing pasture.
