Summary edit

Description
English: Mexico is struggling with more than 30 active fires, which have already caused 4,000 hectares of forest to burn. Usually, the fire season in Mexico starts in April, but this year the wildfires have started affecting the country earlier, because of the extreme drought that is gripping the country in the areas of the Gulf of Mexico’s coast and in the north-west. In fact, the Mexican Government’s Drought Monitor has indicated that by 15 March, the rainfall was insufficient in more than 30% of the national territory. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 27 March 2022, shows the fire ongoing in the El Cielo Biosphere Reserve. The Mexican Space Agency has requested the activation of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) Rapid Rapping, in order to monitor the impact of the wildfire (Activation EMSR571).
