Fires rage on in Brazil tropical wetlands' worst since 2020<br/><br/>Fires continued to ravage the Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland in central western Brazil on Sunday, June 9, video and drone footage showed, as the blaze gradually advances toward the Bolivian border.<br/><br/>The blaze, a result of weak rains since late last year which have disrupted the usual seasonal flooding and left more of the region vulnerable to fires, started earlier in June and have surged nearly tenfold so far this year to the highest levels since 2020, when the biome suffered its worst blazes on record.<br/><br/>World Wildlife Foundation Brazil expressed concerns that the ongoing fires could mirror those of 2020, when, according to the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, 16 percent of the entire Brazilian Pantanal was incinerated. The Pantanal wetlands is roughly 10 times the size of the Florida everglades and are home to jaguars, tapirs, caimans, anacondas and giant anteaters.<br/><br/>Video by REUTERS<br/><br/>Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br/><br/>Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br/><br/>Follow us: <br/>Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br/>Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br/>Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br/>DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br/><br/>Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br/><br/>Check out our Podcasts: <br/>Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br/>Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br/>Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br/>Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br/>Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br/><br/>#TheManilaTimes<br/>#tmtnews<br/>#brazil<br/>#thepantanal<br/>#brazilwetlandfire
