Monthly Fire Destruction in the Amazon
Per year
1998
2012
The area burned in the Amazon has been on jumpy incline recently due to climate change but a new trend has extended
the fire season in besides just the main summer burning months of August, September, and October.
A longer more intense season means more of the forest will be destroyed and in those areas there will be less time to
recover the trees back during the sunny season.
