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.

干旱和火灾的复合效应是否会导致潘塔纳尔湿地 COVID-19 病例的增加？

2020 年，世界上最大的连片热带湿地潘塔纳尔（Pantanal）的野火摧毁了这一生物群落近三分之一的面积。除了这一灾难性的局面之外，COVID-19 大流行病还使世界面临着更为严重的威胁。在此，我们讨论了 2020 年大火和 COVID-19 流行病对公众健康的影响，主要是对土著居民和沿河居民等弱势群体的影响。有必要制定针对具体地区的政策，以确保灾害风险管理的有效性。

期刊介绍： Wetlands Ecology and Management is an international journal that publishes authoritative and original articles on topics relevant to freshwater, brackish and marine coastal wetland ecosystems. The Journal serves as a multi-disciplinary forum covering key issues in wetlands science, management, policy and economics. As such, Wetlands Ecology and Management aims to encourage the exchange of information between environmental managers, pure and applied scientists, and national and international authorities on wetlands policy and ecological economics.
