A handout released via the NASA Worldview application on 28 August 2018 shows a satellite image with the red dots indicating fires around the globe on 27 August 2019.
The fires raging in the Amazon rainforest are the ones being most reported on in August 2019.
However, satellite imagery shows that the amount of rainforest fires around the world is much bigger.
