President Jair Bolsonaro is facing increasing pressure to take action against illegal deforestation fires that have spread across vast areas of the largest rainforest on the planet.
It comes as the city of Sao Paulo was brought to a grinding halt on Monday after choking smoke from fires in the states of Amazonas and Rondonia - almost 3000km away - caused a complete power blackout.

The outstanding phenomenon is called a 'wet microburst'. Part of the cloud over the lake mixed with a strong localised downpour, leading to a stunning rainbow on the surface of the water.
''There were people swimming on the lake at the time. The cloud was spectacular. I have not seen this before,'' filmmaker Alexandra Gregor said, as quoted by the Evening Standard.
The snow in Australia (including at Perisher, above) is the latest in a series of big snowstorms that have hit the country since late May, giving resorts there some of the deepest bases they've reported for two decades, with several having more than two metres lying.
It's been less of an epic season, until now, in New Zealand, where 30cm+ of snow in the past few days has finally given some deep powder cover.

National Farmers' Union says only farms in south-east England able to start harvest
August's wet weather has brought this year's wheat harvest to a "shuddering halt", the deputy president of the National Farmers' Union has said.
Guy Smith said farmers outside the south-east of England had been left unable start their harvest their crop because of heavy rainfall this month.
He said the wet weather had made it more difficult to use combine harvesters in the fields."It has brought the harvest to a shuddering halt for the past 10 days, outside of the south-east," he said.
"The good news is that yields seem to be above average, but the bad news is that the price is significantly on the slide, not helped because of a heavy harvest."
Smith said farmers in the south-east had been able to begin their harvest earlier because of earlier hot weather, but that very little had been done in the west and north of England.
