World leaders have promised to end and reverse deforestation by 2030.

The deal is being touted as the first major success of the ongoing COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.

Brazil, which has been accused of laying waste to vast areas of the Amazon, was among the signatories on Tuesday.

There have been 267 major fires detected in the Amazon this year, burning more than 105,000 hectares (260,000 acres) — an area roughly the size of Los Angeles, California. More than 75% of these fires blazed in the Brazilian Amazon, in areas where trees have been cut to make way for agriculture, despite a June 27 ban on unauthorized outdoor fires by the Brazilian government.

The video shows plumes of smoke rising from the forest, burned trees, animals and birds living there and smoke on the ground of burned down areas.
