                        The flames have destroyed whole ecosystems and burnt rare animals alive.

                        The Pantanal, the largest tropical wetland on the planet, is engulfed in flames. Stretching over an area 20 times larger than the Everglades, this crucial habitat in Brazil is facing the worst wildfires ever recorded. In recent months, wildfires have consumed over 7,000 square miles of this vital wetland. And it's happening because of climate change.



                        The Pantanal is renowned for its rich biodiversity. It's a sanctuary for rare and endangered species, including the giant otter, the world's largest parrot, and the elusive jaguar. This incredible wetland is usually a haven of lush, water-filled landscapes. However, prolonged droughts — intensified by climate change — have made it highly susceptible to fires.



                        The once thriving wetland, home to 4,700 species of plants and animals, is now a charred graveyard. Two jaguar cubs were found burned beyond recognition, while tapirs were left with painful burns and blood on their paws. The nests of precious parrots and other wildlife have been reduced to ash.

                        Global carbon emissions are rising at the fastest rate ever seen, worsening climate change and increasing the frequency and intensity of wildfires. The Pantanal's fires are a tragic reminder of what happens when we fail to address climate change. 

                        We cannot stand by while our planet's most precious ecosystems and the incredible wildlife that depend on them are destroyed. Sign the petition to urge global leaders to prioritize environmental justice and take bold steps to halt climate change.
