Fires in Brazil's Amazon rainforest surged to a 14-year high in August, with over 38,000 hotspots detected, attributed to a combination of climate change, El Nino, and human land use changes, particularly in the deforestation-prone Arch of Deforestation. Meanwhile, Bolivia has faced devastating fires, destroying over four million hectares of forest in just three months, with Santa Cruz, Beni, and La Paz being the hardest-hit provinces. The situation has been described as alarming due to an earlier start and increased intensity of fires compared to previous years. In Ecuador, firefighters are battling the largest forest fire in recent years, which has burned over 3,800 hectares, affecting agricultural lands and prompting the evacuation of ten families. The blaze reportedly began from a small farm fire that spread uncontrollably. Emergency crews, aided by Peruvian firefighters, are working to control the situation and protect local communities.
