Summary
Home Technology Research + Innovation Environment : Amazon: as few forest fires as in 40 years After a severe drought, there are positive signs from the Amazon. The total area burned nationwide was 12.7 million hectares, compared with more than 30 million hectares after a severe drought the year before. The figures are the lowest since 2018.
Furthermore, More water areas recorded After two years of drought, water-covered areas in the Amazon increased in 2025 due to increased precipitation, the network said in a separate message. According to the MapBiomas fire report, analysis over the past four decades shows that more than 49 percent of total burned land was on private rural land, followed by settlements at around eight percent. Around 3.1 million hectares were affected by fires last year, about 80 percent less than in the previous year, according to the annual report of the Brazilian monitoring initiative MapBiomas.
In addition, Often trees are first cut down and the deforested areas then set on fire in order to create new pastures and arable land, for example for soya cultivation. When it is very dry, the fires often get out of control. “Fire is a phenomenon that occurs in various Brazilian ecosystems and is triggered either naturally or by human activity,” the report says.
