The 2008 Delta del Paraná wildfires were a series of wildfires in the Delta del Paraná islands located mainly in Entre Ríos, Argentina. It was an unprecedented event that covered major cities as Buenos Aires and Rosario in smoke, affecting the health of millions of people. The first fires were detected on 13 April 2008, and lasted until April 25 – 26, when rain extinguished most of them. Buenos Aires was heavily affected between April 15 and April 20. The fires happened again in 2020, with the 2020 Delta del Paraná wildfires.

  • The 2008 Delta del Paraná wildfires were a series of wildfires in the Delta del Paraná islands located mainly in Entre Ríos, Argentina. It was an unprecedented event that covered major cities as Buenos Aires and Rosario in smoke, affecting the health of millions of people. The first fires were detected on 13 April 2008, and lasted until April 25 – 26, when rain extinguished most of them. Buenos Aires was heavily affected between April 15 and April 20. Intentional fires started in April 2008, following the purpose of burning grasslands to adapt the De la Plata Basin wetlands land for a livestock grazing use. However, the drought that this area was experiencing that year turned this fires unmanageable, hitting 172,974 acres (70,000 ha). The cloud of smoke that followed the fires caused the worst air pollution in Argentinean history, reaching even Montevideo, Uruguay and forcing airport and highway closures. A significant increase in ocular symptoms and bulbar conjunctival hyperemia, as well as tear film instability was also proven. The fires happened again in 2020, with the 2020 Delta del Paraná wildfires. (en)
  • Los incendios en el Delta del Río Paraná de 2008 fueron una serie de focos de incendios intencionales sobre las islas del Delta del Paraná, que comenzaron a principios de abril de 2008 y finalizaron a finales de ese mismo mes.​ Llegaron a existir 570 focos de incendios.​ El objetivo de los incendios era quemar los humedales para reconvertirlos a la actividad ganadera.​ Sin embargo, la escasez de lluvias durante esa época, sumado a un fenómeno de sequía y un mal manejo del fuego,​​ tornaron incontrolables los incendios, afectando a más de 70.000 ha. El humo generado por los incendios produjo la contaminación atmosférica más grave de la historia argentina registrada hasta ese momento.​ La nube de humo afectó a la región nornordeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, a la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, sur de Entre Ríos y sur sureste de Santa Fe.​ También llegó a Montevideo y a toda la costa sur de la República Oriental del Uruguay. Además, como consecuencia de la baja visibilidad producida por el humo se registraron varios siniestros viales,​ donde fallecieron al menos diez personas.​​​ El Defensor del Pueblo de la Nación en ese entonces, Eduardo Mondino, presentó una denuncia contra las autoridades nacionales, provinciales y municipales para investigar su rol en la prevención de los siniestros viales. A raíz de esa denuncia, se generó otra denuncia contra un grupo de productores agropecuarios que fueron señalados como los responsables de dar inicio al fuego, pero todos fueron excarcelados.​ En 2020 se produjo una nueva ola de incendios en el delta del río Paraná.
