With a preliminary death toll of two people, the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo reported yesterday that 30 of its cities in the southeast of the country are surrounded by forest fires. In addition, it is warned that the sanctuary with the largest concentration of jaguars on the planet, the Encontro das Aguas State Park, in the west of the South American nation, is at the mercy of being reached by the fires that are ravaging the Pantanal region, indicated the Environmental Justice Foundation. The southern giant has been affected by the dry and hot weather of the season. The people who died in Sao Paulo were trying to put out the flames in an industrial plant. In the image, an injured specimen is treated in the aforementioned animal conservation center.
