Summary edit

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 27 May 2021, shows an area in the states of Rondônia and Mato Grosso in Brazil. According to data from Brazil's National Institute of Space Research (INPE), the Brazilian states that fall within the "arc of deforestation" (which include Rondônia and Mato Grosso) have suffered from an unusually dry rainy season. According to INPE scientists, these unexpected dry conditions could significantly increase the risk of severe fires in biomes crucial for biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation. Copernicus, the European Union's Earth Observation Programme, provides free and open satellite data that can be used to monitor droughts and their impact on vegetation. In addition, it includes two Drought Observatories, science-based early warning platforms managed by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, which provides drought-related indicators and early warnings for droughts in Europe (EDO) and worldwide (GDO).
