The world's largest wetland is on fire. Thousands of blazes are sweeping across the Brazilian Pantanal. At some 140,000 – 160,000 square kilometres, the area is smaller than the Amazon jungle but abundant with wildlife. It's home to thousands of species including jaguars, anteaters and migratory birds. Wildfires often occur in the dry season in Brazil but they are also deliberately started in efforts to illegally deforest land for cattle ranching. Drought this year has meant the blazes have burned with historic intensity. Photos show a farm worker trying to put out a fire, aerial views of the damage done by the fires and some of the animals in the area from cattle to a jaguar.

It is a very beautiful area. During summer time, daily, this place is filled with all sort of people who love ocean and water and vista and clouds and swimmig and boating and yachting and just fishing. Maybe people families and young people from Honduras and GUatemala and El Salvador and Haiti and Panama and Washington DC and ANNAPOLIS come here. It is a big Beach and it is covered with umbrellas during summer like Copacabana in RIO. Little RIO.
