The largest proportion of fires wasrecorded in officially recognized ITs (70,256), followed by areas earmarked for the creation of territorialreserves (11,912), traditionally occupied areas without official recognition (8,121) and finally territorialreserves or intangible zones (18) (GFI5 and TFI6).At the national level Brasil registered 59,137 fires within ITs, representing 5% of the total numberof fires recorded in the country and 65.5% of the total recorded in ITs within Amazonia. In Bolivia, for itspart, the number of fires within ITs was 21,993, equivalent to 22.7% of the fires in the country and 24.4%of the total in Amazonia. In Venezuela 7,907 fires were registered in ITs, amounting to 39.7% of fires inthe country and 8.8% of the total recorded in Amazonia. The highest proportion of fires in ITs at nationallevel was recorded in Perú (45.6%) (TFI7 and MCF7). The ten ITs with the highest number of fires arelocated in Brasil and Bolivia (TFI8).MFI7.

Fires registered inside PNAs in Brasil represent 7% of thetotal fires recorded in the country. The highest proportions of fires within PNAs compared to the nationaltotal were found in Guyane Française (44.7%) and Ecuador (42.1%) (TFI4 and MFI6). The second highestnumber of fires inside PNAs was recorded in Bolivia with 15,242 fires in total, representing 15.7%of the national total and 15% of the Amazonian total.

The ten ITs in Amazonia with the highest density of fires in the period 2000-2010ConclusionThe highest concentration of fires coincides with Amazonia’s ‘arc of deforestation,’ a zone distinguishedby the rapid advance of farming. There were proportionally fewer fires within the PNAs andITs, which emphasizes their role as ‘social and natural barriers’ that limit the expansion of fires. Thelow number of fires inside PNAs and ITs may also be explained in large part by the fact that they arenormally located in zones with moderate or low populations. In addition the adequate management offire is linked to the traditional knowledge and practices still used by indigenous and rural peoples livingin these territorial units. On the other hand, the ‘arc of deforestation’ zone coincides with the cerradobiome and drier transition forests that form part of Brazilian Amazonia and where fire is a historical andnatural element of the ecology of their landscapes.TFI4.
