Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In the summer of 2020, severe drought conditions affected the Pantanal area, a vast wetland in southwestern Brazil renowned for its unique biodiversity. Severe wildfires are destroying many natural reserves in Pantanal: one of the most affected is the Encontro das Aguas, or Meeting of Waters, where the largest population of jaguars in the world is concentrated. At least two hundred jaguars have been killed, injured or displaced due to the fires. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 13 September, shows ongoing wildfires in the Encontro das Aguas Park. With a revisit time of 5 days on average at the equator, the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites deliver free and open data that can be used to monitor wildfires and their impact on land and vegetation
