The Pantanal, the world's biggest tropical wetlands, is burning at record-shattering pace this year as drought-fueled fires devastate its vegetation and celebrated wildlife in an environmental catastrophe.⁣
.⁣
The region, which sits at the southern edge of the Amazon rainforest, is known for its immense biodiversity, drawing wildlife lovers from around the world with its jaguars, jabiru storks, giant otters, caimans, toucans, macaws and monkeys.⁣
.⁣
But in recent months, the images emerging from the region have been of charred animals' corpses and flames stretching clear across the horizon.⁣
.⁣
Stretching from Brazil into Paraguay and Bolivia, the Pantanal is criss-crossed by rivers, swamps and marshes.⁣

More than 2.3 million hectares (5.7 million acres) -- an area 388 times the size of Manhattan -- have gone up in flames in the region so far this year, according to the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
