Wildfires in the Amazon and Pantanal regions of Brazil and Bolivia have caused extensive damage to nature reserves, indigenous communities, and wildlife. The fires threaten jaguars, houses, plants, and timber-producing forests. Environmental activists have demonstrated in response to the devastation, and there are concerns about the release of methane deposits from the Arctic permafrost due to the fires. The Pantanal wetlands in Brazil have dried out and over 770k hectares have burnt, posing a long-term risk to wildlife.
