      The data, compiled by Fundación Amigos de la Naturaleza–Bolivia, is a rapid-response calculation based on satellite data. Because of cloud cover and changing conditions there are major error bars on these figures, but the trend is abysmal.

        The fire-affected forested area is growing rapidly: up by 586 thousand hectares (+65%) from September 7 to September 15. Even acknowledging that this may include some adjustment to the prior figure, this is devastatingly fast.

            The overall burned area in Santa Cruz department is about to pass the 2004 figure of 3.3M hectares, and surpassing the 2010 record of 3.8M hectares seems like only a matter of time.
