Brazil Sees Record Rise in Fires, Amazon Heavily Impacted

Imagine Brazil's forests and wetlands like a giant garden that caught fire.

Last year, there were many more fires than usual, burning an area bigger than Italy!

Most of the fires happened in the Amazon rainforest.

The fires were made worse by a big dry spell and people clearing land.

The fires are now making the forests and wetlands more vulnerable to future fires.

Scientists are worried because the fires are becoming bigger and more frequent.
