摘　　要：Wildfires can result from natural causes like lightning, volcanoes, and earthquakes. In Brazil, though, volcanoes do not exist, 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. The aim of those mines is to develop new green technologies;however, those innovative approaches to energy involving lots of minerals are rarely found on Earth. Extensive mining brutally affects the climate and environment and jeopardizes lives, impacting not only the environment but also increasing the pollution and degradation of human lives in the investigated locations.Wildfires can result from natural causes like lightning, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
