A huge fire in Argentina's capital has engulfed an ecological reserve just a few hundred metres from the city's political and financial centre.
Buenos Aires Mayor Mauricio Macri said there were suspicions that arsonists were to blame for the inferno, which began on Wednesday.
Authorities say at least eight fire crews fought to bring the blaze under control after flames raged more than 30ft (10m) in the air.
The ecological reserve is on the banks of the Rio de la Plata No injuries have been reported.
The Ecological Reserve covers more than a square mile (300 hectares) bordering the Rio de la Plata.
Mr Macri said it had not yet been determined how much of the park had been destroyed.
The reserve is considered the "lung" of Buenos Aires, and its vegetation is home to lizards, snakes, turtles, frogs, bats, voles and weasels.
