Wildfires cut a swathe across the Peruvian Amazon on the border with Brazil near the village Inapari in the region of Madre de Dios on Friday.
Footage shows the rainforest ablaze and large areas of land left scorched by the wildfires.
According to data from Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research, 73,000 wildfires have been detected across the Amazon basin this year, an 83 percent increase on last year and the highest number since records began.
