Cattle cross burnt pasture land on the Sao Francisco farm in rural Santo Antonio Leverger, in the Pantanal. More than 250 cattle died when the wild fire burned through 4,300 hectares of the farm.
Since the beginning of 2020, the Pantanal has been facing the largest destruction by burning in its history. From January to September, fires burned 3,977,000 hectares of the Pantanal, which corresponds to 26.5% of the entire biome, killing a vast amount of the region's wildlife.
