Largest Tropical Wetlands in the World is Ravaged by Fires

Fires in Brazil's Pantanal wetlands have ripped through the biodiverse region, consuming an area the size of London in just the past 10 days. The inferno in the world's largest tropical wetlands is the latest environmental disaster facing Brazil, as the Pantanal is considered to be one of the best places to see wildlife. Yet, the blaze has burnt some animals alive and sent others fleeing. Firefighters say the cause is likely due to local people setting fires to clear land for vegetation. #TropicalWetlandsFire #BrazilWildFires #Wildlife Report by Sarah Solomon.
