YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFires in Argentina's northeastern province of Corrientes have consumed some 330,000 hectares of the wetlands, grasslands and native forest.
A prolonged drought throughout the region accompanied by high summer temperatures is being blamed for the scope of the fires this year.
The Iberá wetlands are considered among the world's largest wetland systems rich in biodiversity, with Argentina's recently established Iberá National Park at their heart.
The park is a sanctuary created with lands donated by the Tompkins Conservation, a foundation created by Kris Tompkins and her late husband Douglas Tompkins, the co-founder of North Face outdoors wear.
