… WITH MARINA SILVA MINISTER OF THE ENVIRONMENT.

THE INFORMATION is from the MAIS FLORESTA website with data published by OESTE magazine: “Fire outbreaks in the Pantanal and the cerrado in the first half of 2024 (between January 1st and June 23rd) broke historic records in Brazil.

This is the worst start to a year since the National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) began recording in 1988.”

“In addition to the devastation in the Pantanal and the Cerrado, fire rates are extremely high in the Amazon.

“Compared to the same period last year, 2024 records a 76% increase in the number of fires. The increase for the semester corroborates the measurement for the month of February. At the time, Brazil recorded 3,158 fires — the largest in the historical series. Measurements began in 1999.”
