Climate change and fires: Bolivia’s forests in peril

Santo Corazon, Bolivia (AFP) Nov 10, 2021
The road through San Matias, Bolivia, is a no man’s land. Hundreds of thousands of hectares of once lush forest are now a wasteland of twisted, carbonized tree stumps. It is a protected area, but San Matias – which also hosts subsistence farmers, cattle ranches and quartz mines – burns every year as land is cleared for the next planting season. The practice is legal during May and June
