For example, in the Amazon, the practice of burning forests to make land available for soybean cultivation or cattle ranching is widely documented. According to a report by the <strong>FAO (2019)<\/strong>, between 60% and 70% of deforestation in the Amazon region is associated with agricultural activities, often preceded by fires.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In Indonesia, another emblematic example, palm oil companies have been linked to recurrent fires to clear native vegetation and establish monocultures. These fires, although illegal, are difficult to track and punish due to their apparently \u201cnatural\u201d nature.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In the Andean context, although the dynamics are different, the use of fires to free up land is not a new phenomenon. In countries such as Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, communities and private actors have resorted to controlled or uncontrolled burning to expand the agricultural frontier. However, these practices may be camouflaging darker interests, such as mining.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1246038985 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n  background-color: rgb(40, 40, 40);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-787634429\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-777642565\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1166167926\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:100%;\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pachamamitaecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/466623761_565583726118702_5590043937396619808_n.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyload\" alt=\"The Ecuadorian Andes are on fire.

Since pre-Columbian times, this mountain range has been exploited for its gold, silver, copper and other precious metals. According to a study by the <strong>United States Geological Survey (USGS)<\/strong>This region concentrates more than 301 TP3T of the world&#039;s copper reserves and a significant portion of gold and silver reserves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The process of mining exploration and exploitation often requires the removal of native vegetation to install machinery and carry out excavations. In areas where open-pit mining is common, prior deforestation is practically inevitable. This is where forest fires can play a suspicious role.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2017402118\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One case in point occurred in the Cajamarca region of Peru. In 2017, a forest fire affected more than 3,000 hectares of forests and grasslands in areas adjacent to mining projects. Environmental organizations denounced that these fires facilitated the expansion of mining activities by eliminating protected ecosystems that could serve as legal barriers to new concessions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In Ecuador, fires have been documented in areas close to mining projects in Zamora Chinchipe, one of the richest mineral-rich provinces. Although no direct evidence has been presented that these fires are related to mining, the recurring pattern has raised suspicions among local communities and activists.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<style>\n#row-428232264 > .col > .col-inner {\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-2031312516\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-126594941\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-1412816434\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1412816434 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Social and Environmental Impacts<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The use of fires to clear mining land has devastating implications for both ecosystems and the communities that depend on them. Fires eliminate essential habitats, reduce biodiversity and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. They also displace rural and indigenous communities, who lose not only their livelihoods but also their cultural connection to the land.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">An emblematic example is the case of the Shuar indigenous peoples in Ecuador, who have denounced that fires in their ancestral territory are linked to mining interests. These fires not only affect their way of life, but also destroy primary forests that are vital to the ecological balance of the region.<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-463515273\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-463515273 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t<section class=\"section dark has-mask mask-arrow\" id=\"section_814535080\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"921\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pachamamitaecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/467126766_122171694656252397_1721555719124129438_n.jpg\" class=\"bg attachment- size- lazyload\" alt=\"Fire in the Andes mountain range in southern Ecuador.
