Data from the end of August shows a dramatic and alarming increase in fire outbreaks compared to the same period in 2023 in the Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal. In this distressing scenario, impunity acts as fuel for this destruction, and the Brazilian authorities must respond quickly: investigate and hold those responsible for illegal fires accountable while also strengthening prevention measures and adopting strategies to deal with the reality of extreme events.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-international-stateless\/2024\/08\/13e88119-gp0su1tnf-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Monitoring of deforestation, forest fires, and burns in the Amazon in July 2024. \u00a9 Marizilda Cruppe \/ Greenpeace\" class=\"wp-image-69270\" title=\"Monitoring of deforestation, forest fires, and burns in the Amazon in July 2024. \u00a9 Marizilda Cruppe \/ Greenpeace\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Greenpeace Brazil conducted an aerial survey in the southern Amazonas and northern Rond\u00f4nia to monitor deforestation and fires in July 2024. \u00a9 Marizilda Cruppe \/ Greenpeace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>According to the Fire Monitoring Program of Brazil\u02bbs National Institute for Space Research (Inpe), in August, the total number of fire outbreaks in the Amazon reached 38,266, representing a 120% increase compared to the same period in 2023. The Pantanal saw a staggering 3,910% increase in fires compared to August last year, although it has not yet surpassed the 2020 figures, when fire outbreaks reached 5,935, compared to 4,411 recorded this year.

It\u2019s not enough to have fire brigades only part of the year. In the context of extreme weather events, Brazilian governments need to develop short, medium, and long-term action plans to adapt to climate change and they must continue fighting deforestation and work to achieve Zero Deforestation even before 2030, which is the greatest contribution Brazil can make to help mitigate the effects of the climate crisis we face.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Banks must act<\/h2>\n\n<p>In April, Greenpeace Brazil released the report&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/brasil\/apoie\/relatorio-bancando-a-extincao\/\">Bankrolling Extinction<\/a>&nbsp;(in Portuguese) which reveals how the lack of proper oversight by financial institutions when granting rural credit benefits landowners involved in deforestation, fires, land grabbing, and other environmental and social violations. The report calls for the financial system to implement continuous monitoring of financed areas and to deny access to credit for those who have illegally used fire, among other improvements.<\/p>\n\n<p>Those who finance environmental offenders are also part of the problem and must take action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-6440  sticky-bottom-mobile
