Earlier this week, I posted something about an outbreak of wildfires in Brazil’s Pantanal wetlands.

I said at the time that this seems to me like an extremely significant story. And what I've read about it since then makes me even more concerned.

This article, titled "Why is Brazil’s Pantanal breaking wildfire records?" says the area currently covered by water there, during what should be the flood season, is now at 61% below the historical average.

Here's more on the subject from the World Wildlife Fund...
_______________________________

The Pantanal is increasingly dry, which makes it more vulnerable, increasing threats to its biodiversity and natural resources. The succession of years with few floods and extreme droughts could permanently change the Pantanal ecosystem, with drastic consequences for the richness and abundance of fauna and flora species.

In addition to climatic events that worsen the drought, the reduction in water availability in the Pantanal is related to human actions that degrade the biome, such as the construction of dams and roads, deforestation and fires.

Several studies indicate that the accumulation of these degradation processes, accentuated by climate change, could lead the Pantanal to approach a tipping point — that is, lose its capacity for natural recovery, with an abrupt loss of species after a certain percentage of destruction.
