I felt like crying all the way through as I researched the piece. I am from Bahia and Chapada brings me back sweet memories of my childhood. I spoke to an aunt who lives in Salvador and she seems to think it is nothing serious, just the way it happens every year. She seemed surprised when I said I had heard half of the forest had burned and replied it will recover "as always". I wonder if it is because what the media shows is just a little weather related fire? I wish I could hope so. Thank you – amazing pictures.
