In context

This wildfire burned in Bolivia for 2 days. In total it burned about 380 ha (939 acres) — around 3.8 km². That size is an estimate from satellite hotspots, not a measured area.

Close to the tropics, fires tend to follow the dry season and are often linked to land-clearing rather than a single summer peak.
