The Pantanal holds thousands of plant and animal species, including 159 mammals, and it abounds with jaguars, according to the World Wildlife Fund. In the dry season, wildlife enthusiasts flock to see the normally furtive jaguars lounging on riverbanks, along with macaws, caimans and capybaras.

The neighboring state of Mato Grosso said it had also strengthened its workforce, with about 200 federal and state firefighters on the ground.

[1/2] An aerial view shows burnt trees near a river in The Pantanal, the world's largest wetland, in Pocone, Mato Grosso state, Brazil, August 28, 2020. The 2,387 fires recorded by Inpe in early November is already more than double October's figure and more than half of the total fires seen this year so far. Fires have more than tripled in the Pantanal compared with 2022, which was mild compared with the two previous years. Weather experts point to the El Nino phenomenon, aggravated by climate change, as being behind the sharp increase in fires. "There was sporadic rainfall at the end of October, but two or three days after it stopped, the fires came back," he added.
