" "The dry season creates the favourable conditions for the use and spread of fire, but starting a fire is the work of humans, either deliberately or by accident," INPE research Alberto Setzer told Reuters. Human activities - farming, mining and drilling - are what scientists say are exacerbating the situation now. In Brazil, cattle farmers start fires deliberately to clear forest to make way for ranching, and it’s not always legal.
In Mato Grosso and Para, where Brazil’s agricultural frontier has expanded and pushed into the forest basin, more deforestation has been recorded and wildfires have increased.
The fears surrounding deforestation have grown under Bolsonaro, who has vowed to develop the region for farming and mining since coming into office, ignoring international concern over deforestation and climate change. Carlos Rittl of the Climate Observatory told CNN that environmentalists and researchers blame Bolsonaro’s pro-business leadership for emboldening farmers to cut away at more Amazon land for ranching. Recently, the research agency INPE presented data that showed an 88 per cent increase in deforestation in June compared to the same month one year ago.
Bolsonaro responded by attacking the data from INPE, calling the findings "lies" that hinder trade talks for Brazil. He later fired the head of the agency, director Ricardo Galvao, claiming the research is inaccurate and that it was hurting Brazil’s reputation. Galvao told Reuters that the figures showing a spike in deforestation are "undeniable." Other countries working to fight climate change have started to take notice. Norway and Germany have pulled out of funding for projects to quell deforestation in Brazil.
Bolsonaro has mostly rebuffed the criticism.
He’s suggested that the spread of fires was merely the typical time of year for "queimada," or burn, when farmers usually clear land. Recently, without presenting evidence, he claimed that non-government organizations could be burning down the rainforest to bring shame to his government."
