The famous Amazon rainforest, covering much of northwestern Brazil and parts of Colombia, Peru and other South American countries, is the world’s largest tropical rainforest, famed for its biodiversity. While the rainforest is known for various reasons, it has been in news recently for the most worrisome reason. According to a report by the National Institute for Space Research, Brazil's Amazon rainforest has seen a record number of fires this year.
In 2019, between January and August, nearly 73,000 fires were recorded, and many have continued to burn for a number of days, without receiving much attention from the concerned authorities. Recent satellite images have spotted more than 9,500 new forest fires since last week alone, mostly in the Amazon basin. (AP)
