El alarmante aumento de los incendios en la Amazonía brasileña se debe en gran parte al avance de la deforestación y no a la temporada seca, como sostiene el gobierno de Jair Bolsonaro, explica a la AFP Paulo Moutinho, investigador del IPAM, una organismo de investigación amazónico.

P: - El ministro de Medio Ambiente, Ricardo Salles, dijo hoy [miércoles] que el avance de los incendios se debe “al tiempo seco, el viento y el calor”. ¿Eso es así?

R: - La deforestación explica la mayor parte de los incendios. Históricamente, [los incendios] están ligados al avance de la deforestación, combinada con períodos de temporada seca intensa. Pero en este año 2019 no tenemos una sequía tan severa como la de los años anteriores y hay un aumento sustancial de los incendios.
