A labourer (R) with a friend looks at a fire that spread to the farm he works on next to a highway in Nova Santa Helena municipality in northern Mato Grosso State, south in the Amazon basin in Brazil, on August 23, 2019. - Official figures show 78,383 forest fires have been recorded in Brazil this year, the highest number of any year since 2013.
