These aren’t like the wildfires that have hit California and Siberia. In the Amazon, wildfires are fairly rare because it is a rainforest, which means it is damp most of the time and acts as a giant firebreak across much of South America. The Amazon fires are nearly all man-made.
Every year, the number of fires in the Amazon region rises during the April-to-September dry season. Some are set by farmers before they plant and are in some cases legal.
