Tree cover loss due to fires and pneumonia incidence in the Bolivian Amazon from 2002-2023: An ecological study
Bolivia has lost about 12% of its forest cover since 2000. This abstract shows that tree loss due to fires is strongly associated with higher pneumonia incidence in the Bolivian Amazon, underscoring the need for effective forest preservation to protect both ecosystems and public health.
