Brazil’s government is banning most legal fires, used for land-clearing, for at least 60 days in the wake of the massive blazes that ravaged the Amazon rainforest, according to a new report.

An official decree published Thursday prohibited the fires, typically set during the country’s dry season, Fox News reported.

Currently, farmers and others are allowed to set some fires as long as they have licenses from environmental authorities, the country’s forest code states.

This year, however, there’s been a 77 percent uptick in fires compared to the same period last year — a total of 83,000 blazes, the network reported, citing data from the National Institute for Space Research (Inpe).

Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro has suggested that environmental groups were setting illegal fires in an effort to weaken his government, according to the report. He’s even brought in the military to fight the raging fires — including warplanes that dumped thousands of gallons of water over the smoldering areas.

Earlier this week, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the G-7 nations were offering $20 million in aid to help fight the fires — a possibility that the Brazilian government first shut down and then gradually opened up to.

Bolsonaro said Tuesday he’d accept aid only if the South American country can independently decide how it is spent.

Earlier that day, he said he’d accept the G-7 aid if Macron retracted comments questioning his trustworthiness and commitment to protecting biodiversity.

Tensions between the two leaders have been high — and even turned personal when Bolsonaro allegedly endorsed a Facebook post insulting Macron’s wife, Brigitte.
