In February 2024, the Brazilian Amazon experienced nearly 3,000 forest fires, setting a record for the month since records began in 1999. By the morning of February 29, the number of forest fires in the region exceeded 3 thousand. Experts attribute this increase to climate change. This surge in wildfires has been particularly noted in Brazil's northernmost state of Roraima, where the fires pose a threat to local communities and efforts to combat deforestation.
