2.3 million hectares of the Pantanal wetlands have burned this year so far by fires started by humans.


The fires are harming the wildlife that lives within the Pantanal wetlands, including animals like Jaguars and Caimans.





These fires in the Pantanal wetlands have been going on for months now in Brazil.


The Pantanal wetlands are found across three countries in South America - Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. The fires threaten this unique world heritage site and the animals that live within it.


Animals like Jaguars and Caimans have been killed and injured because of the fires.
