Fire in Iberá

Follow Hire

Dry and burned forests. Fires i...t to the new climate scenario.

Dry and burned forests. Fires in the Iberá region, second largest wetland in Latin America, have caused the disappearance of more than 50% of the wetland, threatening the habitat of unique endangered species. The magnitude of the damage is enormous, since not only is an environment that functions as a natural carbon sink being destroyed, but we are also losing a future tool to better adapt to the new climate scenario.
