This article clarifies the different types of fire in the Amazon, their different drivers and the positive feedbacks that can lead to more fires in the region. It then explores evidence regarding the peak in active fire detections in August 2019, showing that these were linked to the highest levels of deforestation since 2008. Finally, we examine the solutions needed to reduce the prevalence of uncontrolled or illegal fire in the Brazilian Amazon.
本文阐明了亚马逊地区不同类型的火灾、它们的不同驱动因素，以及可能导致该地区火灾增多的正反馈。然后，本文探讨了 2019 年 8 月活跃火灾探测达到峰值的证据，表明这与 2008 年以来最高水平的森林砍伐有关。最后，我们研究了减少巴西亚马逊地区失控或非法火灾的解决方案。
