Fire burning in Iranduba, Amazonas, Brazil, 20 Aug 2019 (Reuters/B.Kelly)
Forest fires are raging in the Amazon rainforest and international pressure has forced the Brazilian government to bring in the military to help.
Official figures show the number of fires has surged by 84 percent this year in Brazil with over 78,000 reported – more than half in the Amazon region.
Many blazes have been human caused and environmentalists blame the jump on farmers clearing land for pasture.
Smoke from the fires has drifted into major cities like São Paulo where the afternoon sky recently became so dark it looked like night.
A state of emergency was declared in Manaus where many residents are suffering from respiratory problems.
