Legal Amazon (or Amazônia Legal in Portuguese) is an area comprising most of the territory of nine Brazilian states in the Amazon basin: Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima and Tocantins. Altogether, they occupy more than five million square kilometers. From January 1st to August 26th of 2019, over 58.6 thousand wildfire outbreaks were detected in that region, up from around 28.6 thousand recorded during the same period of the previous year. That represents a growth rate of more than 100 percent.
