10 Proven Strategies to Improve Your Lead Conversion RateWildfires scorched a fifth of the Pantanal’s Encontro das Águas State Park, home to the highest concentration of jaguars in Brazil.

After a scorching heat wave fueled a month of wildfires blazing across a wild jaguar haven, the rains of Oct. 24 brought welcome relief to Brazil’s northern Pantanal wetlands. Now, environmentalists are assessing the damage and bracing for further fire risks amid a forecast for more hot weather in one of the biome’s most important protected areas.

“The jaguars are the ones that have made it to the rivers, and they’re fine,” Abigail Martin, founder of theEncontro das Águas State Park, outlined in yellow, was heavily impacted by recent wildfires.

Previously, fires would occur less frequently, giving affected areas time to recover, thanks to what Figueirôa called the Pantanal’s “window of resilience.”
