Número de queimadas na Amazônia em outubro aumentou em relação ao mesmo período de 2019.
6 nov 2020 – De acordo com dados divulgados pelo Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (Inpe), o número de queimadas na Amazônia em outubro aumentou em relação ao mesmo período de 2019. Foram 17.326 focos de calor no bioma contra 7.855. Isso significa aumento de 225%.
O Inpe também registrou mais incêndios no Pantanal em outubro de 2020 do que de 2019 – 2.856 contra 2.430. O número de focos de calor de janeiro a outubro já chegou a 93.356, e apenas na Amazônia – o que representa aumento de 25% em relação aos 74.604 de 2019.
O estado que lidera os focos é o Pará, seguido por Mato Grosso, Amazonas e Acre. Vale lembrar que em setembro o aumento de queimadas na Amazônia foi de 60% em relação a 2019 – totalizando 32 mil focos de calor.
No Brasil, as queimadas são mais utilizadas como meio de “limpar” uma área desmatada para dar lugar a atividades agropecuárias.
