Here's what happened on August 27, 2019:

• Brazilian Prosecutors Investigate Amazon Fire Threat Brazilian prosecutors in the Amazon state of Pará launched an investigation into IBAMA's delayed response to planned environmental destruction. On August 5, a farmer publicly announced intentions to set fires on August 10 to demonstrate economic intent, explicitly stating plans to clear land through burning. IBAMA's response was critically delayed, arriving two days after the fires were set. During this month, over 26,000 fires were reported in the Amazon rainforest, a region critically important as it produces approximately 20% of the world's oxygen. The investigation highlights systemic failures in environmental protection and the potential complicity of governmental agencies in ecological destruction.
