May the lives in Amazon rainforest would stay safe and the best regards to our partners in Brazil.

The official figures show more than 75,000 forest fires were recorded in Brazil in the first eight months of the year - the highest number since 2013. 

Forest fires are common in the Amazon. They can be caused by nature, such as by lightning strikes, but also by farmers and loggers clearing land for crops or grazing.

The Amazon basin - home to about 3 million species of plants and animals, and one million indigenous people - is crucial to regulating global warming, with its forests absorbing millions of tonnes of carbon emissions every year. But when trees are cut or burned, the carbon they are storing is released into the atmosphere and the rainforest's capacity to absorb carbon emissions is reduced.

The fires are emitting large amounts of smoke and carbon, which has been travelling as far as the Atlantic coast. It has even caused skies to darken in São Paulo - more than 2,000 miles (3,200km) away.

We're far from there and there's very little could to do to help. May everything would recover shortly. And our representatives send the best regards to the clients nearby there.
