About 45% of 413,000 hectares of land have been destroyed. The lack of an effective policy to protect indigenous lands allows illegal logging and increases the risk that fires like this can happen in other lands, since the degradation caused by illegal logging makes the forests vulnerable to fire.

Cerca de 45% dos 413 mil hectares do território foram destruídos. A falta de uma política eficaz de proteção das terras indígenas permite o roubo de madeira e aumenta o risco de que incêndios como esse possam se repetir em outras terras, já que a degradação causada pela atividade madeireira ilegal torna a floresta vulnerável ao fogo.
