BRAZIL'S AMAZON RAINFOREST FIRES IN AUGUST REACH 14-YEAR HIGH

By Stefanie Eschenbacher

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - The number of fires in Brazil's Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)
rainforest region for the month of August surged to the highest level since
2010, government data showed on Sunday, after a record drought that has been
plaguing the biome.

Last year's rains came late and were weaker than usual because a weather
pattern, known as El Nino, was supercharged by climate change, leaving the
rainforest especially vulnerable to this year's fires.

Satellites detected 38,266 fire hotspots in the Amazon in August, more than
double compared to the previous year and the largest number for that month since
2010, data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) showed.

The August data reaching a 14-year high comes after last month's fire hotspots
in the region surged to a two-decade high.

While the data is the fastest indicator of the state of fires in the region,
which often peak between August and September, it does not indicate the
intensity.

Fires in the naturally wet and humid biome often start on cattle ranches where
locals are converting the jungle into pastures for cattle ranching.

Warmer air and drier vegetation have created conditions where fires can spread
more rapidly as well as burn more intensely and for longer. Deforestation has
also reduced the rainforest's ability to produce rain and humidity.

Helga Correa, a conservation specialist at WWF-Brasil, said in an initial
assessment of the August data last week that the fires were driven by a
combination of weather, climate change and human actions.

"The region where we detected concentrated smoke in August coincides with the
so-called Arch of Deforestation, which includes the north of Rondonia, the south
of Amazonas and the southwest of Para," she said.

"This indicates that, in addition to climate change and El Nino, changes in land
use produced by humans play a central role in the increase in fires," she said.

Human caused, definitely. They Brazilians brought this on by clearing, and
clearing, and clearing some more for farming. First the loggers come in, then
the torches. Until there are no more people there, it, (the rain forest), will
never come back.
