Abstract
In 2020, wildfires in the Pantanal, the world’s largest continuous tropical wetland, destroyed almost one-third of this biome. In addition to this catastrophic situation, the world faced an even more serious threat due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we discussed the impact of the 2020 fires and the COVID-19 pandemic in the public health, mainly in populations living in a situation of vulnerability such as indigenous and riverine peoples. It is necessary to develop region-specific policies to ensure the effectiveness of disaster risk management.
