💨 Abstract

In Bolivia, wildfires have devastated over 10 million hectares this year, breaking previous records and affecting thousands of residents. The fires, mostly in the tropical east, have scorched an area the size of Iceland or Cuba. Santa Cruz, a wealthy farming region, has been the hardest hit, with nearly 7 million hectares burned. The government declared a national disaster after demands for more intervention.
