Firefighters from the ICMBio (Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation), Brazil's federal protected areas agency, use helicopters and make firebreaks to combat a blaze in the Amazon rainforest. Nearly 3,000 forest fires were registered in the Brazilian Amazon in February 2024, the highest for any February since records began in 1999, and made more likely by climate change, according to experts.
