Fires are surging across Brazil's Amazon rainforest, with scientists attributing the spike to El Nino-driven drought conditions combined with longer-term climate change. The blazes threaten deforested and standing forest alike, raising concerns about carbon emissions, biodiversity loss and damage to indigenous territories. Environmental groups are urging stronger enforcement and fire prevention as the dry season continues.

Why now: The Amazon fire season is intensifying, drawing global concern over climate impacts in a critical ecosystem.
