Response to 2019 Fire Crisis Situation in the Amazon

In August and September 2019, sections of the Amazon experienced historical levels of fire, notably in northern Brazil and across the border in Bolivia.  Though fires normally increase at this time of year due to natural causes, these conflagrations were largely the result of encouragement of human land clearing for agriculture and logging.  Once started, some raged out of control without national-level response.

Like you, ACT sees enormous urgency in addressing these factors.
