                         on major fires that occurred during the 2020 drought over the 
                         Brazilian Pantanal region. Location Alto Paraguay Basin, 
                         central-western flank of Brazil. Time period 2003-2020. Methods We 
                         calculated climatic and burned area anomalies and Spearman's 
                         correlation between precipitation and sea surface temperature 
                         (SST). We assessed water coverage to identify the impact of the 
                         2020 drought. We produced fire recurrence maps, identified the 
                         areas that burned for the first time in 2020, and estimated the 
                         carbon loss. Lastly, we assessed the burned areas within land-use 
                         classes and land tenure. Results The anomalies showed that 
                         climatic variables in 2020 had an atypical behaviour, being hotter 
                         and drier than the historical average. The water surface area in 
                         the Pantanal has been decreasing annually from 2003, and in 2020 
                         the reduction was 34% greater than the annual average. Burned 
                         areas in 2020 were 200% greater than the long-term average, and 
                         35% of the burned areas occurred for the first time in this year. 
                         We showed that 84% of these new fires occurred within natural 
                         vegetation, with 39% of the burned areas occurring in forests, an 
                         increase of 514%. Forest fires were responsible for 47% of the 
                         carbon loss in 2020. Finally, 70% of the fires in 2020 occurred 
                         within rural properties, 5% in indigenous lands and 10% in 
                         protected areas. Main conclusions The unprecedented fires in 2020 
                         were not only a result of atypical climate, but also a consequence 
                         of the intensification of fire-related human activities. Rural 
                         properties play a major role in Pantanal fires, requiring law 
                         enforcement and a consistent plan for increasing the protection of 
                         the conservation areas. We argue that ineffective fire prevention 
                         and the lack of suppression strategies were also key in enhancing 
                         the magnitude of these fires.",
