Data released by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research shows that there were 11,434 forest fires in the Amazon region in July of this year, an increase of 98% over the same period last year, reaching the highest level in nearly 20 years. The data shows that half of the fires in Brazil's Amazon region in July occurred in the last 8 days of the month, with 1,348 fires on July 30 alone. The frequent forest fires in the Amazon region are related to drought. Since last year, the region has been hit by drought, which has made vegetation dry and more prone to fire. The Brazilian federal government predicts that the drought in the Amazon state in the region will be more severe this year than last year, and may even be the most severe in history.
