The Pantanal is the world’s largest tropical wetland area, spanning across three different countries: Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. The Pantanal Wetlands suffered from devastating wildfires in 2019 and 2020, likely started by humans clearing land for agricultural purposes. The fires have been difficult to control and track due to a lack of access to the area and year-round cloud cover. Capella’s all-weather, 24/7 imaging capabilities can offer disaster and response teams on-demand access to accurate data on wildfire spread.
