Fires in the Amazon not only reduce tree cover but also contribute to climate change by releasing massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. This creates a dangerous feedback loop—more fires, more CO2, less ability for the forest to recover. 🌍💔

While industrial fires in the West are controlled (think factories and engines), in places like the Amazon, fire is more wild and destructive. Deforestation for agriculture, illegal logging, and mining are some of the primary causes. 🚜🪓🔥
