摘　　要：Wildfires can result from natural causes like lightning,volcanoes,and earthquakes.In Brazil,though,volcanoes and earthquakes are rare.The surge in fires over the past decade is linked to human activities,mainly deforestation driven by foreign interests searching for strategic minerals in low-productivity areas.This extensive mining affects the environment and climate,jeopardizes lives,impacts local birth rates and young women,and ultimately threatens entire populations seeking a dignified life.
