Brazil wildfires: Fires burn in the world's largest tropical wetland

The world’s largest tropical wetlands are facing a crisis. More than 700 fires have broken out this month alone, in Brazil's Pantanal region. That's the highest number recorded since 1998. The disaster is reported to be driven by the El Nino weather phenomenon, global warming, and deforestation. It's also damaging the country's eco-tourism industry.
