Here's a breakdown of the burned areas of the forest, per FAN-Bolivia. At least one sixth of the Chiquitano dry forest (1.4/8.6M ha) has burned in the last two months. #BoliviaFires #SOSChiquitaníaPermalink On twitter.com

While we can't do a one-for-one extrapolation between the area of forest burned and the net loss of forest (deforestation), the burned forest area so far is over eight times the typical annual deforestation rate in Bolivia. woborders.blog/2019/08/29/bolivia-deforestation/ #BoliviaFiresPermalink On twitter.com

Again, here's my take on why this is happening: a convergence of (right-wing) agribusiness in Santa Cruz and the territorial vision of the (left-wing) Morales government behind a destructive land use model. woborders.blog/2019/08/27/bolivia-burning-policy/Permalink On twitter.com
