Mauricio Macri met with Jair Bolsonaro and offered to cooperate during the Amazon fire.

President Mauricio Macri offered Argentina's badistance to his Brazilian counterpart, Jair Bolsonaro, to fight against huge fire which devours thousands of acres of the Amazon rainforest in this country. "I am alarmed and moved," wrote the president and the candidate on his Twitter account.

"I am alarmed and moved by the fires in the Brazilian Amazon. The devastating fires in the region 's main oxygen reserve have hurt us, are worrying and make our cooperation urgent, "Macri told the social network about the disaster.

The leader of Together for Change said that he had contacted Bolsonaro "to closely monitor the management of the emergency situation". In addition, he has made available Argentine resources to help control the ecological disaster that has spread to other countries. "Our emergency system is available in Brazil and Bolivia. We are determined to help our neighbors fight forest fires, "he said.

In Bolivia, the situation is also serious: more than 700 000 hectares and 1817 families have been affected by fire. Evo Morales also turned to Twitter to refer to llamas. "Bolivians have lived through many difficult times together and overcame them, and now we are working together, by air and land, to put out the fire of our Chiquitanía," he said.

A little earlier, French President Emannuel Macron had asked the leaders who will participate in the G7 to deal with this case at the summit. "Our house is burning," he said, saying that the fire of the Amazon jungle is "an international crisis".

The fire in the Amazon began on August 10 and affected about 500,000 hectares of jungle in Brazil. Since then, epidemics have affected parts of Paraguayan Chaco, part of Bolivia, Uruguay and Peru. It is estimated that the equivalent of three football pitches per minute is burned.
