How very alarming and sad and tragic.  It's not just trees burning, but 
entire ecosystems that live in and around the trees, including birds, 
frogs, monkeys, tapirs, jaguars, bats, insects, sloths, snakes, and the 
few remaining indigenous tribes.  The report attributes most of the 
fires to arson.

The rain forests produce their own weather, so as they disappear, 
drought replaces rain and deserts are created.  Rainforests do not come 
back once they're gone. This is an enormous loss for the planet and 
future generations of humans and animals.

Tens of thousands of fires swept through the Brazilian Amazon during the 
recently concluded forest fire season, with the environmental 
organization WWF reporting on Monday that the blazes destroyed an area 
about the size of Italy.

 From the beginning of the year to the end of November, around 135,000 
fires were registered, according to recent data released by the 
Institute for Space Research (Inpe), which is responsible for satellite 
monitoring.

This was about 44% more than in the same period last year. In the Amazon 
region 130,000 square kilometres were affected by the fires.

In addition, almost 80,000 fires were reported in the Cerrado savannah – 
around 64% more than in the previous year. The Pantanal wetlands saw 
14,500 wildfires – an increase of almost 140%.

WWF said a total of 300,000 square kilometres were affected in the three 
regions.

"In most cases, the fires are caused by arson. Year after year, valuable 
forest is torched, primarily to make way for soybean plantations and 
cattle pastures," said Konstantin Ochs, a Brazil consultant at WWF Germany.

"Without Brazil's forests, the goals of the Paris Agreement cannot be 
achieved. Halting deforestation is absolutely essential and 
irreplaceable for climate protection," he said.
