    Typically, ranchers and farmers clear the forest by felling the trees, then burning the land during the dry season, between July and November. Those fires can quickly get out of hand and spread to neighboring areas, especially in drier years. Last year was particularly bad for fires, and this year looks to be even worse, with more than 2,700 fire alerts detected by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) — the highest number since measurement began in 2012, according to GFW analysis.

    There isn’t really anything much to say. There’s a lot to feel, however. Like… a deep and rich hatred.
