International leaders at the G7 summit have agreed to provide logistical and financial support to help fight fires in the Amazon rainforest.
French President Emmanuel Macron said G7 countries would release US $22m.
However, Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro said Macron's plan of an "alliance" to "save" the Amazon treated Brazil "as if they were a colony or no man's land".
A record number of fires is burning in Brazil, mostly in the Amazon, according to the country's space research agency.
