Wildfires continue to cut a swathe across the Amazon rainforest in Candeias do Jamari near the Brazilian city of Porto Velho.
Aerial footage that was filmed on Saturday shows large areas of the forest ablaze and huge clouds of smoke billowing from the fires.
The Amazon rainforest producing nearly 20 percent of earth's oxygen is often referred to as 'planet's lungs'. There has been growing international pressure on Brazil's government to tackle the fires.
