As you’re reading this, the Amazon is burning. The scope is unprecedented, the implications stretch the entire globe. The Amazon rain forest is burning at a record rate. Earlier this month, Brazil declared a state of emergency over the rising number of fires in the region.
So far this year, almost 73,000 fires in the country have been detected by Brazil's space research center, INPE. That marks an 83% increase from 2018 and the highest number on record since 2013, according to Reuters.
