Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 1 September 2021, shows the burn scar caused by the fires ongoing in the Santa Cruz region of Bolivia. For the third consecutive year, Bolivia is heavily affected by severe wildfires impacting valuable ecosystems such as the Chaco, Chiquitanía and the Pantanal. According to the head of the Forest Fire Unit of Santa Cruz, the fires have consumed 786,584 hectares up to 27 August, and conditions may worsen due to the severe drought affecting the area. One of the areas with the largest burned area is the Área Natural de Manejo Integrado (ANMI) San Matías, which can be seen in this Sentinel2 image. Thanks to their high frequency of acquisition, data provided by Sentinel-2 satellites are a source of valuable information that can be used to monitor the fragile biodiversity of regions at risk, such as the ones of South America.
