Brazil fire teams fight Amazon blazes - and the arsonists who start them.
Firefighters and police in Rondonia battle fires intensified by both the climate crisis and a criminal assault on the rainforest.
For weeks now, forests and farms here in the Amazon - and across Brazil - have been ablaze like seldom before thanks to a highly combustible cocktail of extreme drought affecting nearly 60% of the country, the climate crisis and a seemingly insatiable appetite to destroy the environment for immense financial gain.

Eucalyptus plantations are expanding - and being blamed for devastation
In 2017, 66 people died after fires ripped through eucalyptus stands around Pedr—g‹o Grande. Restrictions on the highly flammable trees have provoked death threats, yet others feel they do not go far enough.
In 2017, eucalyptus trees burned like roman candles around the villages near Pedr—g‹o Grande, spraying flames high into the sky. The fire reached more than 1,000C (1,832F) in some places, melting ceramics and metal. Of the 66 people who died in the largest wildfire, in June, 47 lost their lives trying to escape in their cars on the EN-236-1, a highway fenced in by thick stands of eucalyptus.
A landscape surrounded by eucalyptus plantations in various stages of growth, located right next to people's houses. Pedr—g‹o Grande was the site of Portugal's largest wildfire in 2017. Dozens of people lost their lives in the fire, which was supercharged by non-native eucalyptus trees in the surrounding area. As part of the community's recovery, they are planting native tree species and restoring landscapes around the village to lessen the impact of future fires, Pedr—g‹o Grande Pedr—g‹o Grande, Portugal.

Eucalyptus plantations are expanding - and being blamed for devastation
In 2017, 66 people died after fires ripped through eucalyptus stands around Pedrógão Grande. Restrictions on the highly flammable trees have provoked death threats, yet others feel they do not go far enough.
In 2017, eucalyptus trees burned like roman candles around the villages near Pedrógão Grande, spraying flames high into the sky. The fire reached more than 1,000C (1,832F) in some places, melting ceramics and metal. Of the 66 people who died in the largest wildfire, in June, 47 lost their lives trying to escape in their cars on the EN-236-1, a highway fenced in by thick stands of eucalyptus.
