Wildfires

Wildfires – Bolivia

Devastating wildfires in Bolivia consumed 749,000 hectares from January to July, the Friends of Nature Foundation (FAN) NGO said on Thursday night.

As in neighboring Brazil, the fires have been aggravated by widespread deforestation aimed at expanding farming or pastureland. The eastern Santa Cruz and northeastern Beni departments account for 94 percent of burnt areas.
