在巴西亚马逊地区, 2024年创纪录的火灾烧毁了近1800万公顷土地, In Brazil’s Amazon, record fires in 2024 burned nearly 18 million hectares, driven by drought and cattle ranching, harming ecosystems, Indigenous communities, and supply chains.

在巴西的亚马逊地区,特别是圣费利克斯杜辛古(São Félix do Xingu),广泛使用火灾来放牧牛群 — — 所谓的“红约翰(Red John) ” — —导致2024年破纪录的烧伤,近1800万公顷被烧焦,比往年都多。 In Brazil’s Amazon, particularly in São Félix do Xingu, widespread use of fire for cattle ranching—called "Red John"—has led to record-breaking burns in 2024, with nearly 18 million hectares scorched, more than any previous year. 在与气候相关的干旱和根深蒂固的做法的驱使下,大多数火灾始于牧场,蔓延到森林,危害生态系统、土著社区和牲畜。 Driven by climate-linked drought and entrenched practices, most fires start on ranches and spread into forests, harming ecosystems, Indigenous communities, and livestock. 与前官员和主要肉类包装商有联系的Bom Jardim等牧场遭受了巨大损失,引起对供应链联系的关切。 Ranches like Bom Jardim, linked to former officials and major meatpackers, suffered massive losses, raising concerns over supply chain ties. 当巴西准备主办缔约方会议第三十届会议时,专家们强调,遏制火灾引起的破坏需要更有力的执法、消防能力,以及文化上摆脱清理土地火灾的转变。 As Brazil prepares to host COP30, experts stress that curbing fire-driven destruction requires stronger enforcement, firefighting capacity, and a cultural shift away from land-clearing fires.
