Smoke rises over a deforested plot of the Amazon jungle in Porto Velho, Rondonia State, Brazil, August 24. Wildfires are raging in areas where Brazil's agricultural frontier has pushed into the Amazon basin and spurred deforestation. Blazes are common in the dry season, but are also deliberately set by farmers illegally deforesting land for cattle ranching. REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino

Mario, 34, a Honduran migrant who lost his leg while traveling to the United States on a freight train known as "La Bestia," rests during a physiotherapy session at the Rehabilitation Center for Disabled People in Silao, Mexico, August 19. Migrants learn to walk again with new prosthetic limbs after being injured by The Death Train, so named for the risks posed by traveling on it north through Mexico to the U.S. border. Since 2011 a special Red Cross program has attended to 411 mutilated migrants, most of whom lost limbs, giving the few who were found in time a fresh lease on life. REUTERS/Edgard Garrido

Indigenous people from the Mura tribe show a deforested area in unmarked indigenous lands inside the Amazon rainforest near Humaita, Amazonas State, Brazil August 20. The Mura clan plans to fight against loggers and others exploiting the land by filing complaints with the country's environmental enforcement agency and public prosecutors. They have struggled for nearly 20 years to have the land around their village demarcated as an official indigenous reserve, a move that would bring added protections, Handerch Wakana Mura said.

A worker removes a billboard featuring the portrait of People's Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier and its message "Say NO to Mass Immigration" in Toronto, Canada August 26. The anti-immigrant ads, which appeared in several Canadian cities last week and were were bought by True North Strong and Free Advertising Corp, were taken down after a public outcry and multiple petitions against them, the company that owns the billboards said. Bernier has focused on limiting immigration and protecting so-called Canadian values in contrast with more moderate Conservatives, prompting some pundits to refer to him as Canada's Donald Trump.
