South American Coati (Nasua nasua) Rescued in the Pantanal in Brazil
In 2020, large-scale fires consumed more than 20% of the Pantanal wetlands, in the midwest of Brazil. The recurrent lack of rainfall in the region, in addition of the total absence of environmental protection policies, started an unprecedented crisis, which puts people and the biome's rich biodiversity at risk.

Quati-de-Cauda-Anelada (Nasua nasua) Resgatado no Pantanal
Em 2020, incêndios de grandes proporções consumiram mais de 20% do Pantanal, no centro-oeste do Brasil. A falta de chuvas recorrente na região, somada à ausência de políticas de proteção ambiental, deram início a uma crise sem precedentes, que coloca em risco pessoas e a rica biodiversidade do bioma.

Monument to Destruction, Action in the Pantanal in Brazil - Photos by Diego Baravelli
Greenpeace Brazil activists revealed a four-meter high statue of Bolsonaro in an area in the Pantanal wetlands that has been devastated by fires. The demonstration draws attention to the systematic dismantling of the Brazilian environmental protections being pushed by Bolsonaro's administration, which has led the country into one of its worst environmental crises in history.
Activists also displayed the message “Pátria Queimada, Brasil” on the burnt land, an allusion to the Brazilian government slogan, and “Brazil on fire”.
Brazil’s unprecedented fires are consuming vital biomes across the country. The fires are a result of Bolsonaro's government’s anti-environmental agenda, which has been dismantling environmental protections since he took office.
