Sao Paulo, Brazil - Recent

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sao Paulo's nature reserves have been severely impacted by devastating wildfires, with many animals suffering burns and requiring urgent care.

The forest fires in Sao Paulo, Brazil, have ravaged vast areas of nature reserves. As official reports, more than 9,700 hectares have been destroyed as of Oct 9.

The fires have created a dire situation for the local wildlife, forcing many animals out of their natural habitats. Some of these animals have been transported to recovery centers for treatment.

At the Sao Bento Mountain Recovery Center, one of the 26 centers in the region, staff have been overwhelmed by the influx of injured animals.

According to a center representative, between Aug 24 and Oct 8, the center has received 31 animals affected by the fire, which is an unprecedented number in such a short period.

Upon arrival, the animals are often in weak health, suffering from severe burns, dehydration, and malnutrition. Specialists created personalized recovery plans to help the animals regain strength and weight.

The rehabilitation process is delicate, as each species has unique needs. Experts carefully select the release sites based on the animal's habits and the environment that best suits its survival.

As wildfires continue to pose a threat to the region, the Sao Paulo state government has urged citizens to contact local fire and environmental authorities if they encounter injured wildlife.
