Feuer im Pantanal (Brasilien). Um Grasflächen für die Viehwirtschaft zu gewinnen, werden oft illegale Feuer gelegt.

Almost the whole area of Pantanal is under cattle ranging. The farmers often put on fires to clear out the dry grass on huge areas. Although it is forbidden to burn down areas on the Pantanal, this is the most common procedure to gain rich grassy fields for the livestock. I am not sure if this fire was natural or man made.
