In 2024, more than 140,000 wildfires were registered in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, accounting for roughly five out of every ten wildfires registered in the country that year. The Cerrado – a Brazilian biome equivalent to a tropical savanna – suffered a little over one-quarter of all the fires identified in this period, while the Atlantic forest registered around seven percent.
