Biggest Tropical Wetland Wildfire: Pantanal Wetland Devastated by Fires Amid Severe Drought

Stretching between Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay, the Pantanal is the world's biggest tropical wetland.

So far this year at least 700,000 hectares of it have burned.

A major factor is the continuing drought that has dried out more than half the wet area.
