Description
English: The Pantanal, in Brazil, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its unique biodiversity. During the first half of 2020 severe drought conditions affected South America, and in particular the Pantanal area. One of the immediate consequences has been an increase in the number of wildfires: as reported by Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE – Brazil’s Space Research Centre), the overall number of fires increased by 233% in the Pantanal area compared to the previous year. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 14 August, shows ongoing wildfires in the Pantanal Matogrossense National Park (Mato Grosso state). With a revisit time of five days on average at the equator, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites deliver free and open data that can be used to monitor wildfires and their impact on land and vegetation
