has been advancing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The regions where the most fires are occurring are moving farther and farther north,&#8221; Setzer told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The &#8216;arc of deforestation&#8217; is undoubtedly evolving.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>August is typically when fire season starts in earnest in the Amazon, with the arrival of drier weather.<\/p>\n<p>This has been a worrying year so far for the forest, a key buffer against global warming: INPE detected 5,373 fires last month, up eight percent from July last year.<\/p>\n<p>And with 24,124 fires so far this month, it is on track to be the worst August under President Jair Bolsonaro\u2014though well below the 63,764 fires detected in August 2005, the worse for the month since records began in 1998.<\/p>\n<p>Bolsonaro, an agribusiness ally, faces international criticism for a surge in Amazon destruction on his watch. Since he took office in January 2019, average annual deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has increased by 75 percent compared to the previous decade.<\/p>\n<p>The far-right president rejects that criticism.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;None of those who are attacking us have the right.
