Overview of burnings in the vicinity of the BR-163 highway in the state of Pará, northern Brazil, in the Amazon region, on August 29, 2019, August 29th. Brazil's second largest corridor for soybean production - the second largest in the world - the BR-163 concentrates many of the fires that every year take over the skies of the country and even of the South American continent. Despite the creation of protected areas along more than 1,000 km of the highway, areas such as Jamanxim National Forest and Serra do Cachimbo Biological Reserve are among the most devastated (Photo by Gustavo Basso/NurPhoto)
